Lotfi Riahi: The Cost of a Ramadan Iftar Meal for a Family of Six Will Not Be Less Than 40 Dinars This Year [Video]​

On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, Lotfi Riahi, President of the Tunisian Consumer Guidance Organization, said that the cost of a Ramadan iftar meal for a family of six is expected to be around 40 dinars this year. This estimate comes amid increasing prices and declining household income.

Riahi clarified that the actual cost may vary depending on the meal’s components, regional differences, and fluctuating product prices. He remarked that the price of poultry remains stable across different regions, while the cost of red meat remains high. According to the 2025 Finance Law, the Meat Company has been exempted from customs duties on imported frozen meat, pricing lamb at 38 dinars per kilogram and beef at 36 dinars. Nevertheless, the cost of locally sourced red meat continues to rise.

He urged the Ministry of Trade to regulate local red meat prices to ensure fair pricing between frozen and fresh products.

Concerning market supply, Riahi assured that consumer goods are widely available, except coffee, where shortages persist. He mentioned that the Tunisian Trade Office is actively working to resolve this issue.

Invited by the IACE, Tarek Ben Jazia, CEO of Société Ellouhoum, noted that the price of red meat has doubled between 2021 and 2025, reaching peaks this year exceeding 50 dinars per kilogram.

“With an upward trend, meat prices have hit record highs this year. The current market situation is unbearable for consumers, farmers, and businesses. It is a problem of supply chain management and sector governance. We must operate together to find solutions and ensure synergy between all stakeholders,” explained Tarek Ben Jazia.

He also stressed that the red meat industry operates on a tight supply-demand balance, as the local market consumes the entire annual production, estimated at 126,000 tons.

Whole chicken disappears: Tunisians forced to pay up to twice as much​

By R
| 23 mars 2025



Quite often, poultry displays in Tunisian supermarkets take on a new look: whole chickens have almost vanished from the shelves.
In their place, only cut-up pieces are sold at high prices. A simple change of the market? Not exactly. Behind this trend lies a well-planned strategy to bypass the state-imposed price cap.

Whole Chicken Price Capped at 8.500 DT/kg​

To curb increasing prices, the government set a price limit of 8.500 dinars per kilogram for whole chickens. This measure was meant to protect Tunisians’ purchasing power, but some retailers seem to have discovered a way around it.
In some poultry shops and supermarkets, whole chickens have become nearly impossible to find. Instead, consumers are offered drumsticks, chicken breasts, thighs, and other cut-up portions—sold at much higher prices.

A Disguised Price Surge: Up to +103% Increase​

Here are the prices displayed this past weekend in a major supermarket in the capital:

• Chicken upper thighs: 13.950 DT/kg
• Marinated drumsticks: 14.850 DT/kg
• Chicken drumsticks: 13.800 DT/kg
• Chicken breasts: 17.300 DT/kg

Compared to the regulated price of 8.500 DT/kg for whole chickens, this represents a price increase of 62% to 103%, depending on the cut.

The Consumer: The Biggest Loser​

By cutting up the chickens, retailers avoid price regulations, as these cuts are considered “prepared products.” The result is simple: higher profits for sellers but reduced purchasing power for Tunisians.
Consumers are left with no option: with no whole chickens available, they are forced to buy more expensive cuts—just as demand spikes during Ramadan.

Extra Pressure on Families​

This situation puts even more financial strain on Tunisian households. While cutting up chicken may seem trivial, its impact on expenses is significant, especially for large families.
The disappearance of whole chickens is not just a logistical change. It’s a commercial adaptation to a regulation that was supposed to protect consumers.

The Outcome:​

Regulations are bypassed, profit margins soar, and once again, Tunisian citizens foot the bill.
