American products are highly regarded by Tunisian consumers and businesses. Despite certain bureaucratic challenges, Tunisia is a market with a high potential for U.S. exporters.

Financing opportunities for U.S. exporters to Tunisia are available through OPIC, Exim-Bank, and other American financial institutions. The U.S. Embassy in Tunisia is an excellent resource for information about financing the export of American products in that country. The best opportunities for American exporters in Tunisia are in the power generation, telecommunications, hydrocarbons, electrical equipment, textiles, mechanical equipment, and transportation industries.

Tourism is developed in Tunisia but the niche travel is not developed in certain areas.

In agriculture, U.S. agribusinesses may find great opportunities exporting wheat, corn, soybean meal, or planting seeds. Although this market is very competitive due to the EU companies, the U.S. exporters already cover almost ten percent of Tunisia’s overall agricultural imports.

The U.S. Embassy encourages U.S. companies to visit Tunisia, obtain official confirmation for the particular investment operation, and pay attention to the Government of Tunisia`s system of regulations.
