A workshop was organized on Wednesday in Errachidia to present the findings of the Med-Links project, aimed at supporting small Mediterranean producers in fruit and vegetable supply chains. Coordinated by the University of Bologna and co-financed under the Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean (PRIMA), Med-Links aims to improve the sustainability and competitiveness of Mediterranean chains by analyzing consumer preferences and promoting appropriate quality standards.
According to Luca Camanzi, international coordinator of the project, the conclusions make it possible to offer small producers innovative tools to optimize management and strengthen their commercial relationships. This project offers them economic models and resilience practices, facilitating their access to markets and contributing to their long-term profitability.
Mohamed Ait Hou, local coordinator, highlighted the creation of a multilingual digital platform, intended to help farmers obtain quality certifications and promote direct links with consumers. The Med-Links project has also designed optimization processes adapted to different Mediterranean supply chains, whether local short circuits, green public procurement or export-oriented chains.
