Brazilian Exporters of Tahiti Acid Lime Continue to Wait for Clearance to Resume Their Exports to EU

In Brazil, suspended exporters of Tahiti acid lime due to the presence of citrus canker have been waiting for an answer from the Brazilian government since June 2022 for the necessary checks at the packing houses and farms to obtain approval to resume exports to the EU. However, the government has not followed protocols or provided feedback to exporters. The situation has become critical, as many employees at Tahiti lime farms were laid off due to the lack of export.
