What Tunisia Gives the World

Updated: Sep 30, 2025

Hands holding a cardboard box with Tunisia’s flag, symbolizing Tunisian exports and global trade.


Tunisia is often seen as a supplier of raw goods. Olive oil, dates, textiles, honey; shipped in bulk, relabeled, and sold under other names. The reality is different. Tunisia doesn’t just export products. It exports value.


This guide shows which Tunisian products succeed globally, and why they matter.



Olive Oil: Tunisia’s Silent Leader


  • Tunisia is the world’s 2nd largest exporter of olive oil.

  • Most of it is shipped in bulk, blended, and sold under foreign labels.

  • At My Chakchouka, olive oil is traceable, bottled at the source.




Honey: Rare and Unfiltered


  • Tunisian raw honey carries diverse floral sources: thyme, orange blossom, watercress.

  • Still a niche export, but valued in European and Gulf markets.

  • Authenticity matters; unheated, unchanged.




Crafts: Beyond Souvenirs


  • Sejnane pottery, Margoum rugs, foutas, and blown glass are admired abroad.

  • Exports often arrive stripped of origin.

  • We restore the link: maker → buyer, no middlemen.




Dates: A Global Staple


  • Tunisia’s Deglet Nour is world-famous.

  • Exported to Europe, North America, and Asia.

  • A fruit that carries both nutrition and culture.



What Exports Mean for Tunisia


  • Economy: vital source of revenue.

  • Soft Power: spreads Tunisia’s presence abroad.

  • Challenge: products too often lose their name along the way.



How Chakchouka Changes the Story


  • Tunisia exports raw value.

  • We export finished meaning.

  • Every bottle, jar, and object keeps its origin intact.



Tunisia gives the world olive oil, honey, crafts, and dates. But what truly matters is how they travel; stripped, or whole. At My Chakchouka, they reach you as they were made: intact, traceable, Tunisian.
