The increase in the presence of businesses oninternational markets is a key to growth and development.

It is increasingly necessary to growexports in part through increasing the number ofinternationalised companies and their degree ofinternationalisation. This is the concept behind "Blue SeaLand", which aims to act as a driving force in this process,with an eye towards the province of Trapani, which saw aconsiderable growth in trade in products related to fishfarming in the first half of 2015, with a 94 percent rise inexports and a 155 percent increase in imports over the sameperiod of 2014. vel.
