The Region of Murcia has set a new record in fruit and vegetable exports, reaching 1,641 million euros in the first five months of the year, making it Spain's second-largest exporting province. Minister Marisa López highlighted the sector's commitment to quality and technology. The Ministry, through the Development Institute (Info), has introduced aid for regional SMEs to participate in the Asia Fruit Logistica fair in September, with applications open until August 2. Last year, exports to Asia were 15.8 million euros, and the event is seen as vital for expanding market reach in Asia and Oceania.
