The United States government has suspended avocado imports from Michoacán after one of its Mexico-based inspectors was threatened.
Michoacán – Mexico’s third most violent state last year – is currently the only state authorized to export avocados to the U.S., although Jalisco is expected to be given the green light to do so before the end of this year.
The Ministry of Agriculture (SADER) announced Saturday that the United States had advised that it was temporarily suspending avocado shipments.
