Organic farmers find fertile ground in North Africa
TUNIS — Proudly displaying her freshly picked pomegranates, Tunisian farmer Sarah Shili says going organic is "the future of farming" — and as demand surges in North Africa and beyond, the sector is blooming.
Shili runs Domaine Elixir Bio, a 94 hectare farm near Tunis that produces organic-certified vegetable, fruit and cereal crops in a way she said "respects nature".
The farm's revenues have surged thanks to strong demand and the growth of online sales, multiplying five times in as many years to hit 100,000 euros in 2020.
