Mauritania facilitates access of Moroccan trucks to supply domestic market

Mauritanian authorities have paved the way for Moroccan trucks carrying fresh produce and foodstuff to ensure an adequate supply of its domestic market, Mauritanian trade ministry said.

In this respect, Mauritanian authorities have opened a special station in the capital Nouakchott for these trucks to unload and for drivers to rest, the ministry said.

Measures to prevent coronavirus outbreak were also ensured after Mauritania became a coronavirus free country with seven cases including six recoveries and one death.

The station was visited by Moroccan ambassador and Mauritanian trade officials to show support for the drivers who are playing a key role in supplying Mauritanian market during the global pandemic and the holy month of Ramadan.

Every day, 50 to 70 large tucks arrive in Nouakchott from Morocco despite closure of the borders.
