Potato Farmers' Union Warns of Export Impact
The article addresses the crisis facing land freight transportation from Lebanon to the Gulf countries. Saudi Arabia is preventing trucks and refrigerated vehicles over twenty years old from entering, threatening the export of Lebanese agricultural products, especially potatoes, to the Gulf. The head of the potato farmers' union is calling for Lebanon to be granted a grace period of between one and a half to two years to allow the entry of trucks that meet legal requirements, despite their age, in order to gradually modernize the land fleet. This ban has led to a shortage of transportation options and increased shipping costs from $6,000 to $10,000, jeopardizing the interests of Lebanese farmers and exporters. It calls for urgent intervention by Lebanese authorities to find a solution that ensures the continuity of exports.
