Tridge summary

The commodity import report of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on Monday the export approval of the Hass variety avocado from Jalisco for export, which had been delayed due to security issues. It was in December 2021 when the United States Department of Agriculture authorized Jalisco to export Haas avocado to the American Union, but after a series of obstacles, it could not be exported. However, all orchards were subject to prior review by that agency as a first filter and by the USDA as a second, but the reviews were postponed. The attacks experienced in recent months on the borders of Jalisco and Michoacán delayed the certification that is needed to be able to export avocados to the United States and, with it, the date of the first shipment that was scheduled for last May was late.
