Alfredo Ram\u00edrez Bedolla told reporters Monday that Mexican authorities were in discussions with their U.S. counterparts to quickly resolve the situation.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2022, the U.S. government suspended inspections of Mexican avocados \u201cuntil further notice\u201d after a U.S. plant safety inspector in Michoacan received a threatening message. The halt was lifted after about a week.<\/p>\n<p>Later that year, Jalisco became the second Mexican state authorized to export avocados to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The pause in inspections won&#8217;t block shipments of Mexican avocados to the United States, because Jalisco is now an exporter and there are a lot of Michoacan avocados already in transit, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>Because the United States also grows avocados, U.S. inspectors work in Mexico to ensure exported avocados don\u2019t carry diseases that could hurt U.S. crops.<\/p>\n<p>
