In the following weeks, the export of avocados from Jalisco directly to the United States will begin and the previous work has already been carried out both in packaging and in the certification of orchards, confirmed the chief director of the National Service for Agri-Food Health, Safety, and Quality (SENASICA), Francisco Javier Trujillo Arriaga.
According to El Heraldo de México, Trujillo Arriaga recalled that since the beginning of avocado exports to the northern country, mainly from Michoacán, there have been no pests that prevent the shipment from entering, so the special emphasis has been placed on the verification of work plans and certifications in terms of health and safety now in Jalisco.
"Since we started in November 1997 to date, we have not had a single case with the presence of any of the four quarantine pests in shipments crossing the border".
At the international level, according to the newspaper, Mexican products have stood out in terms of health and safety as well as quality, and work is being done to maintain the standards of compliance with good practices in all agricultural products, especially berries, avocados, and mangoes.
During the pandemic, notes El Heraldo de México, being qualified as an essential area, agricultural products were kept up to par and guaranteed both in the country and export commitments.
"We never had to submit ourselves to work disciplines at home and I cannot think that any of the agricultural products have stopped producing both for the Mexican consumer's table and the export history, we continue as if there had been no pandemic, I believe that the future, once this public health event is over, will be brighter because if we have already learned to work uphill when this factor is not present we will be able to capitalize to achieve these successes we are talking about", detailed the director of SENASICA.
Likewise, he added, in the remainder of 2022 we will work so that, in 2023, the nostalgia products will be achieved with certifications to export to the United States are soursop, chicozapote, mamey, and plum.
"Next year we will be exporting through SENASICA's work and certification, soursop, chicozapote, mamey, and plum, which are products in high demand in countries like the United States, they are nostalgia products; mamey, the native consumer of the United States does not know it, but the Mexican living in Los Angeles and Chicago do, they are very close examples of new exports", he concluded.
