Tunisian Olive Oil Harvest 2026/27: What Buyers Can Confirm Today
A campaign watch anchored in dated official releases, with the 2025/26 baseline and the variables buyers should monitor for 2026/27.
Status at 14 August 2026
As of 14 August 2026, the dated IOC and ONAGRI figures cited below provide a 2025/26 national baseline.
For 2026/27 procurement planning, crop volume, grade mix, exportable volume and price direction remain the variables to track in the next primary-source releases.
- Published baseline: dated 2025/26 production and export observations
- Planning variables: 2026/27 crop volume, grade mix, exportable volume and price direction
- Next reference point: a dated release from ONAGRI, the International Olive Council or another primary authority
The verified historical baseline
The IOC estimate adopted in November 2025 placed Tunisian 2025/26 production at 450,000 tonnes. Later ONAGRI customs reporting recorded 352,000 tonnes exported between November 2025 and June 2026, including 303,700 tonnes in bulk.
These national figures form the historical baseline for buyer planning ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
What buyers should monitor
A useful outlook needs more than a headline crop number. Timing of harvest, oil yield, category mix, storage carry-over, export pace and price formation can change the commercial picture.
Buyers should also separate national availability from a specific lot that meets analytical, sensory, certification and delivery requirements.
- Official production estimate and revision date
- Harvest progress and oil yield
- Bulk versus packaged export pace
- Category and quality mix
- Origin price with category, date and trade basis
Build flexibility into the 2026/27 RFQ
State campaign preference, acceptable alternatives, volume phasing and required delivery period in the RFQ. This creates a useful commercial brief while the market picture develops.
AGRO OLEA will update this market watch when a dated primary 2026/27 release is published.
