Visit to the Marché d'Intérêt National (MIN) de Montpellier with students from the CIHEAM Montpellier Master's program in Value Chains (CDVALES), accompanied by Professor M'Hamed Merdji (Lecturer at CIHEAM Montpellier & MBS Montpellier Business School) on Monday, February 16, 2026.
A warm welcome from Mr. Lauro, the Director.
