The Resources Ministry has terminated Pitkali Crates Ltd's contract for the washing of boxes used to carry fruit and vegetables in Malta after the company failed to improve its service, in spite of several notifications.

The ministry said in a statement that it had been receiving complaints from the agricultural sector for the past months, some of which also appeared in the local media.

It said it would be providing the cleaning service immediately until another operator was chosen for the service.

The minsitry said it had also bought a number of new boxes which were available to growers. Those interested should contact the Vegetable Market administration on 2339 6101 between 8.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m.
