This Tunisian stamp, issued for the 5th National Fair of Sousse organized from May 27 to June 12, 1960, highlights a major economic event aimed at promoting national production, crafts and the commercial dynamism of the country. The Sousse Fair then constituted a showcase of Tunisian know-how, offering a space where innovation, traditions, agriculture, industry and regional exchanges intersected. The iconography of the stamp — combining architectural motifs, commercial symbols and decorative elements — reflects the vocation of the fair: to support economic modernization while affirming Tunisian cultural identity. This program highlights the role of these national demonstrations in the consolidation of economic development shortly after independence.
