Jalisco to join Michoacan in Mexico avocado exports to US
Mexico's Agriculture Department said Tuesday it has reached agreement with U.S. authorities on a working plan to allow avocados from a second Mexican state to be exported to the United States. For almost 25 years, Mexico has been allowed to export avocados only from one western Mexico state, Michoacan. Only Michoacan avocados were allowed because orchard owners there were able to certify under an agreement reached in 1997 that their fruit was free from pests like avocado seed weevils or fruit flies.
