Summary:

In recent days, ​​bakeries across Tunisia experienced bread shortages as the durum wheat supply chain remains unreliable.

Many bakeries faced long lines as they were unable to meet customer demands for bread and some had to close.

This event disrupted global wheat supply chains, which have historically depended heavily on Russian and Ukrainian farmers to supply the necessary volumes.
