Damascus-SANA
The head of the Federation of Chambers of Agriculture, Muhammad Kashto, revealed the signing of contracts to export citrus to neighboring countries, and export shipments will start as of next week towards Iraq.
In a statement to SANA, Kashto indicated that several contracts were signed yesterday to export citrus to neighboring countries, and that the recent government measures contributed to overcoming most of the obstacles that were obstructing the flow of citrus from the coast towards other governorates, as well as stimulating exports towards neighboring countries, calling for these measures to continue in the coming seasons.
Two days ago, the Council of Ministers approved steps to activate the marketing of the citrus season, including buying large quantities of farmers directly according to popular prices, increasing the quantities offered in Syrian trade halls and outlets, and placing about 100 working trucks in public sector companies to transport marketed citrus to the governorates and running cars to activate direct distribution. In cities and neighborhoods, juice factories are obliged to work at maximum capacity by importing locally produced citrus fruits.
