Tunisian government buys surplus olive oil

Tunisia’s Ministry of Agriculture has decided to buy large quantities of olive oil from producers, at the current consumer price that has been fixed at 3.6 dinars per litre. The decision was adopted to help the sector (one of the driving forces of the national agricultural sector) after prices on the international market were lowered.

Perhaps the Aust & NZ governments could do the same, and persuade parliamentary catering services to use olive oil exclusively – Ed.
