Tunisia phosphate productivity declines 60%

Tunisia's Minister of Energy and Minerals, Monji Marzuk, said at a press conference held recently that since 2010, the phosphate industry in Tunisia has lost 60% of its productivity and lost 5 billion dinars in the past five years.
Marzuk added that the Ministry of Energy and Mines has implemented a basic plan to restore the normal order of the phosphate industry. Gafsa Phosphate is undergoing transformation, and Tunisian Chemical Group will also support the production capital of the phosphate industry to save The current huge loss.
The phosphate industry is one of the main driving forces for the economic development of the country in Tunisia. Since the “Jasmine Revolution”, the continuous strike and stop production caused by the unrest has seriously affected the normal order of the phosphate industry.
