Regarding the case of about 100 containers of cashew nuts exporting to Italy showing signs of being scammed, on March 16, the Ministry of Industry and Trade informed that it had directed the Commercial Counselor in Italy to go directly to the ports of Genoa and Naples to work with port management units, shipping lines, banks, and local authorities, proposing to suspend delivery to have time to clarify the case.
