疫情之下橄欖油市場逆勢增長
根據突尼斯國家日報辦公室發佈的數據，儘管發生了冠狀病毒危機，突尼斯的橄欖油出口實現了創紀錄的收入增長。
這個北非國家在2020年前三個月出口了14.6萬噸橄欖油，產生了約8.96億突尼斯第納爾（3.1億美元）的收入。
在2019年同期，該國的出口量為8萬噸，價值7.4億新臺幣（2.55億美元）。
ONH總裁兼首席執行官Chokri Bayoudh敏銳指出，儘管在冠狀病毒危機期間出口放緩，但該國在繼續開展經濟活動和打入國外市場方面取得了相對成功。
根據巴努德（Bayoudh）的說法，儘管該國由於新冠肺炎疫情影響貿易暫停，幾乎完全停止了海外裝運。突尼斯仍繼續出口橄欖油並履行其市場承諾。
從2019年11月開始到2020年3月底，突尼斯橄欖油出口量達到30萬噸，超過了該國出口25萬噸橄欖油的目標，預計收入約為20億新臺幣（6.9億美元）。
去年夏天，突尼斯農業部曾預測即將到來的橄欖油季節的預計產量將達到35萬噸。
歐盟仍然是突尼斯的主要市場，該國大部分橄欖油流向意大利和西班牙。
巴約德將該國20％的價格下跌歸因於國際供求關係。

Tunisia has recorded record growth in revenues from olive oil exports despite the coronavirus crisis according to figures released by Tunisia’s Office National de l’Huille (ONH).
The North African country exported 146,000 tons of olive oil in the first three months of 2020 which generated revenue of around 896 million Tunisian Dinars ($310 million).
During the same period in 2019 the country’s exports stood at 80,000 tons worth 740 million TND in revenue ($255 million).
Chokri Bayoudh, president and CEO of ONH was keen to point out that although exports had slowed during the coronavirus crisis, the country had seen relative success in continuing activity and reaching foreign markets.
According to Bayoudh, Tunisia had continued to export olive oil and meet its market commitments despite the country’s trade suspension and an almost complete halt placed on overseas shipments due to COVID-19.
From the beginning of November 2019 until the end of March 2020, Tunisian olive oil exports reached 300,000 tons and exceeded the country’s goals of exporting 250,000 tons of olive oil with expected revenue of around 2 billion TND ($690 million).
Last summer, Tunisia’s Ministry of Agriculture had predicted a promising upcoming olive oil season with expectations that production would reach 350,000 tons.
The European Union remains Tunisia’s main market with most of the country’s olive oil going to Italy and Spain.
Bayoudh attributed the country’s 20-percent price drop to international supply and demand.
