Description
This “tax stamp” type issue highlights the fundamental agricultural vocation of Tunisia through a still life symbolizing the generosity of the earth. The illustration brings together sheaves of wheat, citrus fruits and pomegranates, evoking the diversity of Mediterranean cultures which ensure the country's food security. This visual underlines the economic importance of the primary sector and the historical link of Tunisians with their land, making agriculture not only a resource, but a central element of national identity and social stability since Antiquity.
