The Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA) told reporters that between July 2014 and this January of this year the export of Mexican avocados to the United States was up 39 percent when compared to the same 2013-2014 period.

A spokesperson for SAGARPA said the growth in exports was attributable to the coordinated efforts of SAGARPA and the Association of Producers and Exporters of Avocado Packers México (Apeam).
The 39 percent increase in exports equals an additional 102,900 tons, for a total of 365,639 tons.
