27-12-2017
The minister of agriculture, Ghazi Z3ayter, met his Iraqi counterpart, Fallah Hassan Zeidan Laheibi, to discuss possible ways of agricultural cooperation between the two countries. Z3ayter who was accompanied by MP Ayub Hmayid and ministry representatives, said the visit comes as part of mutual exchange in the field of agriculture and to activate previous bilateral memorandums of understanding, in anticipation of the opening of the border crossings with Syria and Iraq. For his part, the Iraqi deputy minister of agriculture, Mahdi Damad, pointed out that the agreement covers several items, namely: collaboration in the fields of scientific research and in import and export, in addition to, coordination of mechanisms regulating products destined for import or export. On the other hand, the Central Committee assigned to follow up monitoring of support to the olive oil sector in the regions of Hasbaya and Marjey3oon convened on December 16 to assess the latest developments and preparations completed by the Committee. The latter agreed to complete the required documents to be submitted to prime minister, Saad Hariri within two days. To recall, Hariri earlier in August pledged to secure a sum of USD 10 million as a subsidy to 200 thousand olive oil gallons produced in Hasbaya and Marjey3oon.
