What the Gulf market reveals
The Gulf highlights three levers for a Tunisian brand:

- Halal and authenticity — halal certification and the "authentic Mediterranean oil" storytelling are strong arguments.
- Private label — several producers (Oilyssa, Agroliva) supply the region under private label, alongside premium bottled brands.
