French Fiasco: An absence of product shipped to Europe by troubled Israeli exporter Agrexco is causing a stir at the Port of Sète in France, where earlier this year a €24.5m handling facility was completed especially with the company’s European programme in mind. (Video in French.)
Eurofruit organised a special round table meeting last week in London for the French apple sector, bringing some of the UK’s leading industry players face to face with representatives of France’s topfruit export business. At the meeting, hosted on behalf of Sopexa, were: Daniel Corbel (Interfel), Sandrine Gaborieau (Association National Pommes Poires), David Croxson (Tesco), Paul Morgan (Musgrave), Steve Maxwell (Worldwide Fruit), Greg Hart (Sydney Hart), Sue Shields (Sydney Hart), Chris Guindi (Richard Hochfeld), Jerry Green (Greencell) and William Haynes (Epco). A full report from the meeting will be published in the February 2011 issue of Eurofruit Magazine.
