Milan market approaching revolution
Italy
Wednesday 06 February 2008
With over 850 thousands tonnes of products are traded each year at its facilities, the Milan fruit and vegetable market has a vital role within the agrifood centre within the centre.
The city council has recently decided to keep the market on the premises it has occupied for over forty years. As a result of this decision, and other factors, SOGEMI - the company managing Milan wholesale market - has been able to start up a project of important changes with the aim of creating a multi-functional centre of integrated services in the agrifood sector, capable of offering new business opportunities to new clients and to mass distribution.
Roberto Predolin, president of SOGEMI, explained to Green Med Journal: “On one hand the project aims to transform and renew the agrifood logistics area by creating special platforms, and on the other hand to create direct links to the rail network and new motorway link roads so as to encourage rail transport, streamline and optimise road based transport and at the same time take advantage of the nearby airport (Linate is only one kilometre away), as well as developing a transport system for direct produce deliveries using environmentally-friendly means”.
