But avocado prices are still expected to rise in the short-term
Less than a week after the United States Department of Agriculture announced that it would halt avocado exports from Mexico following an anonymous threat directed at one of its inspectors in the country, the agency has officially rescinded that decision.
The USDA’s Animal and Plant Inspection Service resumed its inspections of Mexican-grown avocados on February 18 after an agreement between its Mexican counterpart SENASICA and the Association of Avocado Producers and Packers Exporters of Mexico ., the agreement “enacted additional measures that enhance safety for PHIS inspectors working in the field.
Even though it only lasted a short time, the USDA’s decision to block Mexican avocado imports was extremely costly for both American consumers and Mexican producers. According to a statement provided to Eater by the APEAM, the interruption “likely resulted in a cost of more than $120 million in the United States throughout the supply chain, impacting wholesale, retail, and service industries at both the state and national levels.
