In Tunisia, the National Chamber of Non-Alcoholic Beverage Producers has denied that production costs for bottled mineral water have increased. Producers claim that recent price hikes in the market are being driven by distributors and merchants through illegal speculation. 

Authorities and consumer organizations have called for intervention from economic control brigades to combat these price increases. While supply has stabilized due to improved electricity reliability and lower temperatures, consumer advocates continue to urge a crackdown on merchants exploiting previous shortages to inflate profit margins.
