Tataouine's economic surveillance teams are holding 480 kilograms of tomatoes

Tataouine's economic surveillance teams booked an estimated 480 kilograms of tomato material stored in a random warehouse on Wednesday morning, November 11, 2026. This field survey followed the observation of commercial activity contrary to the trading and storage arrangements for agricultural products.

Supervisory interventions also included the seizure of 76 kilograms of fine kiln material after the guns were deliberately hidden from normal distribution channels. Investigations at the site have revealed the existence of monopoly and illegal storage practices aimed at speculating on prices and influencing the abundance of consumer goods available to the public.

Tataouine's Director of Air Commerce Ahmed Al-Talili said that the administration directly supervised the re-pumping of the entire reserved quantity of tomatoes into official pipelines and their sale to consumers. He stressed that the intervention is aimed at cutting the way for unauthorized brokers and ensuring a smooth supply of food to the local market without interruption.

These controls are part of efforts to tackle trade infringements that negatively affect supply stability and protect consumer purchasing power in the province. Trade interests intensify surprise inspection campaigns on warehouses and duty points on staples to counter the concealment of supported goods and agricultural products and referring violators to legal proceedings.
