for a large region: that of the Mediterranean basin and the
greater part of the African continent. This wide area presents
all types of contrasts and challenges. From the greenhouses

of Turkey, the olive groves and oil of Greece, the vines of Italy,
the strawberries of Spain, to the melons of Tunisia, the citrus
fruit of Morocco, and the cocoa trees of Cameroon.
