US temporarily suspends avocado imports from Mexico's Michoacan due to security incident involving U.S. inspectors.
The US has temporarily suspended avocado imports from Mexico's top-producing state, Michoacan, due to a security incident involving U.S. inspectors. The suspension began last Saturday, and the duration remains undetermined as talks between US agriculture officials and local producers continue. In 2022, similar suspensions were imposed due to security issues faced by inspectors in the state, which has grappled with gang violence for years.
