The Mandarin Youssfi

This stamp highlights the Mandarin, an emblematic fruit of Tunisian orchards, particularly in the Cap Bon region. Leila Allagui's botanical illustration shows the fruit tree as a whole, as well as detail of the fragrant white flowers and fruit at different stages (whole, peeled and quartered). This program celebrates the richness of national citrus growing, whose products are synonymous with freshness and vitality in the Mediterranean diet, and underlines the importance of this sector for the rural economy and Tunisian exports.
