Some Egyptian fruits and
vegetables are delivered directly to the tables of central and
northern European consumers, and Italian manufacturing products
are destined for customers in Egypt.
These are some examples of the import and export spin-offs of
the new ro-ro sea route, which, from October, will connect the
port of Trieste with the port of Damietta, Egypt. The new route
was presented at Fruit Logistica in Berlin, the world's biggest
trade fair for fresh produce logistics, in front of foreign
industry partners and operators.
The presentation follows the signing in Cairo of the
Italy-Egypt bilateral agreement. Among those who attended the
fair were Zeno D'Agostino, president of the Ports of Trieste and
Monfalcone, who described the facilities of the port and the
opportunities of the new line, Italy's ambassador to Berlin
Armando Varricchio, the head of the commercial office of the
Egyptian embassy in Germany Abdel Aziz Elsherif, Customs Agency
director Roberto Alesse and ICE (Italian Trade Agency) president
Matteo Zoppas.
