The governor of Michoacán, Alfredo Ramírez, has partnered with Food Collective, a Swedish organization, to export Michoacan lemons to Sweden. The collaboration, which will be formalized in Q1 2025, will utilize a scheme for the placement of agricultural products in the Swedish market. Michoacán is a leading agricultural export state in Mexico, with exports valued at about 7 billion dollars in the US annually. The partnership also highlighted the promotion of a voluntary certification program against deforestation due to illegal orchard crops.
