The article highlights the ongoing embargo on Mexican shrimp by the US government, clarifying that it extends to all production types, not just those from aquaculture farms as previously stated. The embargo, effective since April 30, is a result of the loss of a certification due to the improper use of Turtle Excluder Devices, and includes both wild shrimp caught with trawls and those obtained by artisanal methods. This embargo poses a significant challenge for Mexico's shrimp industry, which relies heavily on the US market, accounting for over 40% of its export value. The industry employs around 462,000 people directly and indirectly, with hopes for a diplomatic mission to be sent to Washington to discuss the issue with US agencies.
