Tunisia's petroleum imports fall 14% over nine months

Tunisian imports of maritime petroleum derivatives declined over the first nine months of 2026 by 14% compared to the same period last year, decreasing from 78,000 barrels per day to 67,000 barrels per day. Russian shipments were halved, dropping from 48,000 barrels per day to 24,000 barrels per day, due to Russian restrictions on diesel and gasoline exports aimed at meeting domestic market needs amid supply pressures and rising prices. Despite this, imports rebounded in September to an average of 73,000 barrels per day, although this was 6.4% lower than September 2025. Tunisia heavily relies on fuel imports, mainly from Russia, Italy, and the Netherlands, with limited domestic refining capacity that covers only about 30% of the market’s needs.
