Businesses like SMSA El Amen in Jendouba demonstrate the tremendous potential for growth and employment in Tunisia’s private sector, especially in the agricultural sector. During his trip, Ambassador Donald Blome met with the team at SMSA El Amen in recognition of the vital role the 320-member cooperative plays in Tunisia’s economy. Through USAID, the United States is helping the cooperative expand to new members, implement training programs for farmers, and increase sales by 400,000 TND. SMSA El Amen is one of 30,000 small businesses that USAID is supporting across Tunisia.
