Climate Shocks and Supply Chain Resilience in Tunisian Agriculture: A Framework Analysis

Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity in Tunisia, particularly affecting supply chain resilience through unpredictable weather patterns and resource scarcity. The analysis employs a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data from government records with qualitative insights from interviews with farmers and industry experts. A notable finding is that small-scale farmers are disproportionately affected by climate-induced supply chain disruptions, necessitating targeted support interventions. The study concludes that integrating early warning systems and diversifying agricultural products can significantly improve resilience in the Tunisian agricultural sector. Policy recommendations include fostering agro-ecological practices and enhancing insurance schemes to protect farmers from climate-induced losses.
