Economist Hajji Ali calls for converting food shortages into feed to reduce the burden of supply on farmers.
Hajj Ali stressed that this amount of food waste requires rapid and practical solutions to reduce its direct financial and economic impact on the country.
Hajj Ali explained that part of the food that is not consumed can be converted and valued into raw materials used directly in the production of feed. This call is aimed at reducing agricultural production costs and the burden of supply on Tunisian farmers.
The economist believes that the appreciation of food shortages is a key step to tackling Tunisia's surplus dilemma, by reintegrating it into the economic cycle as input to local production rather than destroying it.
