Lebanon in economic crisis amid collapse in imports

Djita (Lebanon), 7 Jul (EFE).- Jalal Nakad set off for northern Lebanon in search of junipers to manufacture local gin, as the Middle Eastern country grapples with its worst economic crisis in decades amid a collapse in imports. Businessmen have shown interest in his beverage which he has named Areej, meaning aroma in Arabic. Nakad sees in this crisis an opportunity to export local products and close the doors to imported ones.
