About Agronorth
A dedicated export operation for Mediterranean sun-dried produce
Agronorth was established to serve one specific supply chain requirement: reliable, high-volume export of sun-dried tomatoes from Tunisia to international food importers. We are not a multi-category distributor. We do one product category well, at scale, to export specification.
Production
Field-to-export production model
Agronorth sources exclusively from the Cap Bon peninsula in northeastern Tunisia — a region with the combination of summer heat, low humidity, and consistent sunlight required for quality sun-drying. Our contracted farms operate under consistent agronomic standards, and our variety selection targets tomatoes with high dry-matter content for optimal yield and flavor concentration.
Drying is conducted on open-air raised racks during peak summer conditions. This natural process is not accelerated. It takes 8 to 12 days per batch, depending on ambient conditions. The result is a shelf-stable product with concentrated flavor and controlled moisture levels suitable for industrial food applications.
After drying, product moves into enclosed processing facilities for sorting, grading, washing, and packaging. Our facility is designed to meet EU food hygiene requirements for export-grade production.
Export focus
Built for international trade, not domestic retail
Our operational structure is oriented toward export. Minimum orders start at 10 tonnes, documentation is prepared to EU import standards, and our packaging formats are specified for maritime container loading and pallet-based warehouse handling.
We work with food importers, wholesale distributors, industrial food processors, and private label programs. We do not operate a consumer-facing or retail distribution channel.
Our primary target markets are EU member states — Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands account for the majority of our export volume. We are in active development of supply relationships with importers in the United States and Canada.
Tunisia advantage
Geographic position
Tunisia sits 3–7 maritime days from all major EU entry ports. Rades Port (Tunis) has direct container services to Marseille, Genoa, Barcelona, and Rotterdam.
Agricultural climate
Tunisia's Mediterranean summer — consistently above 35°C with low relative humidity — creates optimal natural drying conditions from June through September.
Trade access
Tunisia holds an Association Agreement with the EU, which facilitates preferential trade conditions and reduces friction on agricultural export documentation.
