The commercial mission of the Free Trade Zone has presented the two tax precincts of the province in the neighboring country and has analyzed possible avenues for collaboration with firms linked to foreign trade.
The commercial team of the Free Zone of Cádiz, led by its Director of Business Promotion and Foreign Trade, Rocío García-Delgado, carried out a commercial mission to Morocco this week in which it strengthened ties with Moroccan entities and has maintained fruitful contacts and meetings with different companies and logistics operators, in addition to visiting the Free Zone of Tangier and Tangier Med.
The commercial mission of the Cádiz Consortium has traveled for three days to Tangier, Rabat and Casablanca and has presented and offered information about the two tax precincts that the Free Trade Zone has in the province - in Cádiz capital and in the Bay of Algeciras - to different firms linked to foreign trade, especially in the agri-food sector, which have shown great interest in the facilities and strategic location of the Cádiz precincts.
The Cádiz commercial team has maintained contacts with those responsible for the Tangier Free Zone, the most important business center in the region and where automotive, aviation, textile, food and logistics activities, among others, are carried out. Another stop on the mission was Tangier Med, a port with an extraordinary location that places it at the crossroads of the commercial maritime routes of Europe, Africa and America, which has allowed it to be placed among the most prominent and efficient ports in the world.
The representatives of the Cádiz Consortium have also visited large Moroccan companies such as Sté Raimy in Tangier, dedicated to the export of fruits and vegetables, or Lady B in Rabat, an agricultural company with national expansion and activity in international markets.
In addition, the Free Trade Zone trade mission has held meetings with different institutions such as the Spanish Embassy in Rabat, the Casablanca Chamber of Commerce, ICEX Casablanca or the Moroccan Logistics Development Agency. Also in Casablanca, they were able to see the facilities of the Forafric firm, a logistics operator dedicated to the import-export of cereals, grains and legumes.
The trip to Morocco has been intense and fruitful, with numerous contacts and where the commercial team of the Cadiz Institution has been able to learn first-hand about the way large operators work. The Moroccan firms visited have shown great interest in the projects of the Cádiz Free Trade Zone, its tax precincts and have analyzed with Rocío García-Delgado and her team possible avenues of collaboration for activities linked to foreign trade for which the customs and tax advantages of the two precincts of the Cádiz Consortium are conducive.
