Mexico avocado exports resume despite security concerns
U.S. authorities lifted a security alert that temporarily halted avocado exports from Michoacán, Mexico's main avocado-producing region. After eight days, exports resumed, and workers returned to harvesting and processing avocados, which are primarily sold to the U.S. market. The security measures were enacted due to threats from criminal groups involved in extortion and violence, impacting around 200,000 workers and industry operations. Despite increased military presence and recent arrests, concerns about ongoing threats and violence remain among industry producers and local residents.
