A statement to the Italian Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese, revealed that Italy is cooperating with Tunisia to send Tunisian workers in the agricultural sector for a specific period of time during the seasons of harvesting agricultural crops.
A cooperation protocol will be agreed on soon between the two countries in the framework of encouraging regular migration and limiting irregular migration and its dangers on the victims.
This project was announced during the meeting of the Italian Agricultural Union that seeks to develop the agricultural sector in Italy, to provide more workers in the sectors, and limit irregular migration.
It is worth noting that the number of boats that leave weekly from Tunisia for Italy has doubled after COVID-19 that resulted in an economic and social crisis.
