Images of a combine harvester reaping wheat in a field in Sidi Thabet, a suburb of Tunis. The wheat is then transported to a storage centre. According to Tunisian government estimates, the 2022 harvest will amount to 1.8 million tonnes, compared to 1.6 million tonnes in 2021. To cover its wheat needs, Tunisia imported more than 1.5 million tonnes of wheat in 2021, mainly from Ukraine and Russia. Russia and Ukraine, whose vast grain-growing regions are among the world's main breadbaskets, account for a huge share of the globe's exports in several major commodities, including wheat, vegetable oil and corn.
