In Tunisia, there are more than twenty mills in the agro-food sector in Tunisia. Most of them are based in Tunis and its surrounding areas. The remaining mils are located in Sfax, Sousse and Southern Tunisia. Office des Cereales, is the relevant government authority, which was created in 1962 by decree-law n ° 62-10 of April 3, 1962 and placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture. The private sector imports wheat directly when prices are favorable, but when the prices are too high the Office des Cereals imports wheat and supply to the private mills. There are 18 companies producing biscuits, four of which produce 86% of total production.
The top milling companies in Tunisia:
- The Society the Grands Moulins of Tunis is an S.A. with a capital of 2,540,000 DT, founded since 1934. It specializes in the production of baking and pastry flours. It has a strong representation in The Grands Moulins du Sud - Sfax

Tunisia has the highest per capita consumption of wheat in the North African region, which is close to 258 kg per year. Further demand for wheat is created by visitors every year from Algeria and Libya (over two million) who have high requirements of wheat-based food products. The total Tunisian wheat consumption is around 3 million metric tons, every year. A strategy was formulated to reach 2.7 million metric ton of cereal production over the next three years, in Tunisia.
Cereals are important crops in Tunisia and occupy about 1.2-1.5 million ha, of which about 13% is planted with bread wheat, 45% with durum wheat, and 42% in barley.
