RIDGE SPRING, SC - Titan Farms is making history. The supplier recently reported the shipment of its first load of peaches to Mexico. Signaling a revival of international trade, this marks the first export of eastern peaches to Mexico since 2014.
"This momentous occasion represents a culmination of our team's hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence," said Chalmers Carr, Chief Executive Officer and President. "We are thrilled to be pioneers in revitalizing the export of eastern peaches to Mexico and to introduce Reveam’s ECP as a benchmark for quality assurance in fruit trade. This achievement underscores Titan's role as a global leader in the fresh produce industry."
As Carr noted, this significant development is made possible through Reveam’s USDA-approved phytosanitary treatment known as Electronic Cold-Pasteurization® (ECP®). According to a press release, this technology employed at Reveam's Rio Grande Valley ECP Center in McAllen, Texas, is a post-harvest phytosanitary solution that sterilizes pests and eradicates bacteria and molds.
The export of eastern peaches to Mexico opens new avenues for collaboration and trade between Titan and Mexican markets. It not only expands Titan's reach but also showcases the company's dedication to innovation and compliance with international standards.
The ban on peach imports from the eastern United States to Mexico was originally implemented in 1994, citing concerns over pests and diseases. However, through rigorous collaboration between regulatory authorities and industry stakeholders, comprehensive protocols for ECP were developed, addressing these concerns while facilitating safe and sustainable trade practices.
Titan invites stakeholders, media outlets, and consumers alike to celebrate this achievement and looks forward to further collaborations.
Cheers to this exciting milestone!
