Context of the Medartsal project

Today salinas across the Mediterranean are suffering from environmental pressures and economic stress. Their products face strong competition from cheaper land-produced salt and from the world trade. To stay viable, salinas are confronted with the choice of closing, industrializing the production or changing the business orientation towards sustainable tourism and new artisanal products. This third option is the idea behind MedArtSal.  In this context, the Tunisian-Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CTICI) is organizing the MedArtSal event in hybrid mode.
