Food waste is a major issue in Tunisia. Every year, Tunisian households waste the equivalent of 572 million dinars (over €171 million) worth of food (source: the French National Consumer Institute). Meanwhile, paradoxically, nearly 500,000 people in the country are undernourished.
Monoprix Tunisia has already taken action to address this issue and is reaffirming its commitment by entering into a strategic partnership with Smartway, a company that supports retailers in their fight against food waste.
By the end of 2024, Monoprix Tunisia plans to deploy Smartway’s AI-based intelligent solutions in its 85 stores. These solutions will assist in-store teams in identifying products nearing their expiry date, determining the best discounts to apply, and taking proactive steps to ensure accurate ordering. The challenge is to balance important concerns for the planet, people, and store profitability. Consumers will also have the opportunity to discover Zero Waste sections, a first in Tunisia.
