Al-Tarishshi: Export challenges encountered
The president of the National Union of Farmers in Lebanon, Ibrahim Al-Tarishshi, reported that the export of agricultural products has faced several obstacles at the Al-Masnaa border crossing, despite the official announcement of export commencement and the readiness of equipment such as scanners. He pointed out that the requirement for approval from the General Directorate of Customs for each export operation, along with restrictions on registering Lebanese trucks and vehicles, has led to increased transportation costs and a halt in export processes. This situation threatens the spoilage of agricultural products and diminishes their economic viability. He emphasized that there has been neglect by the relevant authorities, despite efforts by some officials, such as the Minister of Agriculture and MP Michel Dahieh, to remove these hurdles. However, the obstacles have remained since the announcement of the export, and progress in streamlining procedures has been halted for over two months.
