The Tunisian government has issued a joint decision, published in the latest issue of the Official Gazette, regarding the determination of the adjustable stock of pasteurized fresh milk and the peak production period for 2026. The decision, dated September 22, 2026, was signed by the Minister of Equipment and Housing, who is temporarily in charge of the Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Trade and Export Development, and the Minister of Agriculture, Water Resources, and Fisheries.

The decision aims to regulate the production and storage of pasteurized fresh milk in Tunisia. It sets the adjustable stock of pasteurized fresh milk and determines the peak production period for 2026. The decision also specifies the duration for which milk processing centers can benefit from a storage subsidy in 2026. This move is expected to help stabilize the milk market and support local producers.

The joint decision was made in accordance with the country's regulations and laws governing the dairy industry. The Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources, and Fisheries plays a crucial role in monitoring and regulating the production of milk and dairy products in Tunisia. The ministry works closely with other government agencies to ensure the stability of the milk market and to support local farmers and producers.

The decision to set an adjustable stock of pasteurized fresh milk and a peak production period is part of the government's efforts to improve the dairy industry in Tunisia. The country has a significant dairy sector, with many local farms and processing centers producing milk and dairy products. The government's regulations aim to ensure the quality and safety of these products.

The peak production period for milk in Tunisia is an important factor in determining the country's milk production and storage needs. The government's decision takes into account the seasonal fluctuations in milk production and aims to ensure that the country's milk needs are met throughout the year. The adjustable stock of pasteurized fresh milk will help to stabilize the milk market and prevent shortages.

The storage subsidy provided to milk processing centers is an important incentive for local producers. The subsidy helps to reduce the costs associated with storing milk and encourages producers to maintain a stable supply of milk to the market. The government's decision to specify the duration for which milk processing centers can benefit from the storage subsidy is expected to help support local producers and stabilize the milk market.

The Tunisian government's decision to regulate the production and storage of pasteurized fresh milk is expected to have a positive impact on the country's dairy industry. The decision will help to ensure the stability of the milk market, support local producers, and provide consumers with a reliable supply of high-quality milk and dairy products.
