Currently,&nbsp;this&nbsp;activity&nbsp;is&nbsp;carried&nbsp;out&nbsp;by&nbsp;26&nbsp;industrial&nbsp;units.<br>Always looking to improve the quality of their products, and in order to cope with changes in the sector, most of these factories have invested in modernization, increasing their production capacity of Double Concentrated Tomato (DCT) as well as in the establishment of quality management systems. For example, seven manufacturers have set up aseptic filling lines for a daily capacity of the equivalent of 5 thousand tonnes of fresh tomatoes. 65% of tomato canneries (17 units) are ISO 9001 and \/ or ISO 22000 certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of production, Tunisia has processed an average (over the last ten years) 750000 tons of fresh tomatoes per year and has produced on average the equivalent of 120000 tons of double tomato concentrate &#8220;DCT&#8221; mainly to meet the needs of the local market, which consumes almost 100000 tons per year. The daily processing capacity is around 35000 tons of fresh tomatoes per day. With such production Tunisia is one of the top 10 Double Concentrated Tomato producing countries in the world and the Mediterranean basin and the first country on the African continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of exports, it is mainly destined for the Libyan market and in smaller quantities to other European and African destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past 10 years, the average export volume has been around 13000 tons of Double Concentrated Tomato&nbsp;per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of DCT consumption, Tunisia ranks first in the world with an average consumption (fresh tomato equivalent) of around 55 kg\/year\/hab. the same consumption does not exceed 35 kg in the USA and 24 kg in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomato concentrate packaged in metal boxes or aseptic bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following graph shows the average proportions of each type of packaging over the past five campaigns (2014-2018):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gica.tn\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gica.tn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image.png 599w, https:\/\/www.gica.tn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gica.tn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image-85x55.png 85w, https:\/\/www.gica.tn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image-84x56.png 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En Tunisie, la culture de tomate destin\u00e9e \u00e0 la transformation compte plus de 10 000 producteurs cultivant une superficie d\u2019environ 18 000 ha (moyenne des dix derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es).
