As part of FIPA's visits to foreign and foreign invested companies established in Tunisia, a visit was carried out to Maison de l'Oasis on Friday, 9th December 2016 in southern Tunisia.

The “Maison de l'Oasis” is a Tunisian-Dutch company based in the area of El Hamma in the governorate of Gabes. It produces "ox heart" tomatoes in high-tech glass greenhouses.

The company has invested in 4.5 hectares and plans to make extensions to reach 20 hectares of glasshouses generating more than 250 employment positions between workers and technicians not taking into account indirect jobs.

The entire production is intended for export since the international market is very demanding of this variety of tomatoes. They are used and are very popular in many cooking recipes, especially for summer salads and sandwiches, because of their organoleptic and morphological qualities.
