The project will promote improved safety and quality of Mediterranean citrus supply chains through:
- A comprehensive description of current policies, procedures and research related to the Mediterranean citrus sector to improve quality and safety of citrus supply chains
- A needs assessment survey to focus research and development on improving safety and quality including policy recommendations, an action plan of research agendas and preliminary project proposals.
- Mediterranean Networking initiatives to stimulate international co-operation and support policy development by integrating current related research and providing added value.
- Providing information to facilitate access to knowledge, training and technology, increasing SME participation in research, and, thus, improving the exploitation of results, and accelerating innovation.
- Bringing together scientists and industrialists to create a sustainable Mediterranean network for the citrus sector to support research relevant to safe and high quality cross-border supply chains.
