Tunisia still relies on imports to satisfy 90% of its domestic demand for timber and timber products, despite an increase in forest cover of some 500,000 ha in the last fifty years. The main aim of this study was to assess the share of Tunisia’s forests in supplying needs for industrial timber over the last fifty years, and to determine the capacities of its timber industries to process locally-sourced timber. Consump- tion of industrial timber increased from 0.19 M m3 in 1961 to 1.30 M m3 in 2012, while industrial timber production increa- sed by only 0.09 M m3 over the same period. In the current context of market liberalisation, industrial timber processing and reduced dependence on imports can only be achieved with effective coordina- tion between all players in the forests and timber sector (government depart- ments responsible for forest management and timber sales, logging companies and industries) to enhance the sector’s com- petitiveness. An increase of 50,000 m3  of local timber and industrial timber prod- ucts on the market would generate an additional 1.5 million of Tunisian dinar (M DT) (+22 %) for the State budget, reduce imports by 12 M DT (3 % of timber and timber product imports) and increase added value in the domestic timber sector by 4 M DT, as well as creating jobs in the logging and timber processing.
