Planting plan for 2026/2027

The article concerns the preparations for the upcoming agricultural season for major crops in Tunisia for 2026-2027. A total cultivated area of approximately 1.095 million hectares has been planned, including around 77,000 hectares of irrigated land, with a geographic distribution covering the northern, central, and southern regions. Agricultural programs include the planting of cereal varieties such as durum wheat (585,000 hectares), soft wheat (65,000 hectares), barley (434,000 hectares), and triticale (11,000 hectares). Preparations also involve the distribution of essential production inputs, such as fertilizers—about 30,000 tons of ammonium nitrate have been allocated to complete a program totaling 220,000 tons, along with quantities of superphosphate ("Super 45") and DAP fertilizers, with varying coverage levels. Furthermore, high-quality seeds are being prepared; approximately 500,000 quintals have been supplied to meet the initial requirement of 616,000 quintals, with plans to provide the remaining amount before the end of December 2026. In terms of crop protection, programs are underway to combat weeds and fungal diseases, with an expected treatment of around 547,000 hectares of cereal fields against pests and diseases. This will be carried out through the national campaign centered on precise monitoring and early intervention with pesticides. These preparations aim to ensure a successful start to the season and to minimize the impact of pests and weeds on production. This effort is part of a national symposium scheduled for tomorrow to review the 2026 season’s assessment and to prepare for the upcoming planting season.
