The Fruit and Vegetables Working Group, which includes representatives from the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, and sectoral associations, met to discuss the progress of opening new markets for Spanish produce. The group discussed the status of export requests to the US, Thailand, and other countries, and expressed interest in exporting different fruits and vegetables to these and other markets. The US has agreed to process a protocol to export peppers from all Spanish producing areas, while the visit of Thai inspectors to Spanish farms for a potential pear and grape export protocol has been postponed due to travel difficulties.
