Held one day before the SIFEL, the 1st edition of Agriconferences2009 will
discuss the issues of the tomato sector inMorocco. More than 500 tomato
professionals from Europe andAfrica will
experience the latest trends in the tomato sector first hand and make valuable
contacts in the process. Producers, exporters, national and international
experts in agronomy, suppliers, logisticians and institutionalsare all
participating to this conference. Interventions will cover the following
topics:
•The relations betweenMoroccoand the European Union, including the
advanced status, the Union for theMediterraneanand
the ongoing agricultural negotiations.
•Technical performance: the current
greenhouses are outdated. They cause climate control problems and lack
protection against diseases and pests. Sophisticated types of houses are more
than ever necessary to compete with technically advanced countries.
•The
market: currently 90% of tomato's export flow is captured by the market ofSt.
Charles. This hub serves the rest ofEurope.
With the emergence of new opportunities for shipping, other alternatives become
possible: direct lines to various ports (France,Belgium,Holland). All these possibilities must be
explored and coordinated with the entire profession.
