Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri has attended the opening of Taormina Food Expo 2026 and the signing of an Memorandum of Understanding between Gozo and Sicily.
The agreement is set to create new opportunities for Gozitan farmers, fishermen, and businesses to reach new markets and strengthen local products.
The Minister addressed those present and presided over the signing of an agreement between CNA Sicilia and the Gozo Confederation for Agriculture and Fisheries (GCAF).
It was explained that this agreement marks a significant step in strengthening commercial and institutional relations between Gozo and Sicily; it will facilitate new opportunities for exports, the promotion of Gozitan products, and collaboration between businesses from both islands.
The Gozo Minister stated, “Gozo and Sicily have much to offer one another- not only in terms of products, traditions, and expertise, but also regarding commercial experience. Through this collaboration, we can open new doors for Gozitan farmers, fishermen, and producers, facilitate the export and promotion of our products, and even develop joint Mediterranean brands capable of competing in international markets.”
He added that ”we want to ensure that our producers have every opportunity to grow and continue showcasing the quality and identity of Gozitan products beyond our shores. This agreement represents a concrete step in that direction, and I hope it marks the beginning of an enduring collaboration from which both islands will benefit.”
The Taormina Food Expo 2026, taking place until the 15th of November, brings together 82 businesses and organisations, offering opportunities for commercial networking with international buyers and delegations.
Minister Camilleri concluded by thanking CNA Sicilia and the Gozo Confederation for Agriculture and Fisheries for their commitment, while asserting that Gozitan farmers, fishermen, and producers should be given every opportunity to grow, reach new markets, and promote the quality of their products.
