Italy Seeks Higher Citrus Exports and New Markets
Italy aims to boost 530 billion dollar yearly citrus exports through better advertising and packing. Prof Corrado del Vecchio of the National Labor Bank spoke at a national conference to exporters and producers of lemons, oranges, and tangerines about steady gains since wartime losses. Last year Italy shipped 360,000 tons abroad with Scandinavia, Germany and Russia as far markets. Soviet demand rose, while Western Germany led buyers. The country already held a large share of world lemon exports and expanded into lemon essence and juice. Cold storage depots in Sicily, Calabria, and Naples region now support preservation.
