It is a true pillar of Tunisian cultural identity and plays a crucial role in the country's economic and social development. Tunisia boasts numerous artisanal skills renowned worldwide. These ancestral techniques, carefully and passionately maintained, contribute to the country's reputation as a center of high-quality artisanal production. Tunisian artisanal products are prized not only for their beauty and authenticity but also for the history and craftsmanship they represent. From textiles to pottery, jewelry, and rugs, each piece reflects a unique and precious cultural heritage. Craftsmanship is one of the most flourishing economic sectors in Tunisia, as evidenced by the export revenues of Tunisian artisanal products reaching over 40 million euros in 2022. It is an important sector for the country, providing over 7,000 direct jobs and contributing 4.5% to the GDP. This economic dynamism reflects not only the quality of artisanal creations but also the ability of the 300,000 artisans in the country to innovate and adapt to international markets while preserving their traditional techniques.
