Tunisia's exports to Canadian market estimated at 300 million dinars
Mohsen Abidi, Vice President of the Tunisian-Canadian Business Network (RTCA), stated that Canada is home to over 40,000 Tunisians, in addition to thousands of Tunisian students enrolled in various Canadian universities.
During his appearance on the Expresso show, Abidi emphasized the importance of leveraging this strong Tunisian presence in Canada, describing it as a strategic asset that could serve as a foundation for expanding into the promising Canadian market across multiple sectors.
He added that the Tunisian diaspora plays a key role in investment, both in Canada and Tunisia, noting that the African continent holds a strategic position in Canada's vision. Thanks to its geographical location, Tunisia could act as a gateway to African markets.
The RTCA Vice President explained that the network is working to strengthen the role of the Tunisian diaspora in boosting economic and investment relations between the two countries by actively participating in major economic and scientific events held in Canada.
He highlighted the importance of the direct air route between Tunisia and Canada, calling it a strategic lever to increase Tunisian exports to the Canadian market, currently estimated at around 300 million dinars.
This figure could easily be multiplied by five if cooperation were expanded to high-potential sectors like startups and alternative energy, rather than being limited to the agri-food industry.
