Les grandes surfaces tunisiennes entre résistance et révolution du commerce en ligne.

En Tunisie, les hypermarchés et supermarchés qui ont façonné les habitudes de consommation depuis les années 1990 affrontent un adversaire inédit : une économie numérique qui progresse trois fois plus vite qu'eux.

Entre pouvoir d'achat comprimé, marché parallèle persistant et essor fulgurant des plateformes en ligne, la grande distribution tunisienne se trouve à un carrefour stratégique. Comparaison avec la France et le Maroc à l'appui, plongée dans les chiffres d'une mutation commerciale encore balbutiante mais déjà irréversible.

Impact of conflict on LEBANON’s food industry 

Impact of conflict on LEBANON’s food industry  | CIHEAM Press Review | Scoop.it

Against the backdrop of compounded crises, economic collapse, COVID-19, and violent conflict, Lebanon’s food system has become increasingly vulnerable. This study examines war’s impact on Lebanon’s agri-food small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the backbone of its food industry and economic resilience. This study evaluates the impact of war on operational aspects and identifies key recovery priorities by employing a quantitative survey of members of the QOOT cluster, Lebanon’s leading agri-food business network. The results show widespread disruption, with significant challenges in financial performance and market access.

GEOPOLITIQUE des fruits et légumes | Éditions Eyrolles | CIHEAM Press Review | Scoop.it

La végétalisation de l’alimentation gagne du terrain au moment où les équilibres entre nutrition et santé sont de plus en plus recherchés par les consommateurs. Mais ce succès s’accompagne parfois d’une médiatisation excessive, qui tend à invisibiliser des enjeux plus sensibles, sur un plan environnemental et social.
Par ailleurs, la hausse des ventes de coupe-faim représente-t-elle un risque pour la filière fruits et légumes ?

‘We can’t promote tourism without agriculture’ – MALTA Food Agency CEO Brian Vella

‘We can’t promote tourism without agriculture’ – MALTA Food Agency CEO Brian Vella | CIHEAM Press Review | Scoop.it
‘I envision having fewer farmers, but more productive ones.’

‘We attract huge numbers of tourists, and they’re all looking to eat local produce,’ says Brian Vella. ‘Are we giving them what they’re asking for?’
The Malta Food Agency CEO is sceptical.
‘We often focus on exporting when we should be serving the local market first – the demand is already here. We cannot afford for tourists to come here and find we don’t produce our own food. We’d be a country with no oxygen, no heart.’

La cuisine méditerranéenne est souvent associée à un patrimoine ancien, à des recettes transmises de génération en génération et à des produits emblématiques.

Partout autour de la Méditerranée, des cuisiniers, des producteurs et des habitants cherchent à faire vivre leurs traditions sans les figer, convaincus que les recettes d’hier peuvent encore répondre aux défis d’aujourd’hui.
