CENTRAL MEXICO - News of the Popocatépetl volcano’s recent activity has many citizens in Central Mexico concerned for a potential evacuation. The volcano, which has been active in recent years, has reportedly been spewing ash into nearby towns for the last week.
According to a report from CNN, the Popocatépetl volcano is in a central part of Mexico and has been the cause of transport delays. Roughly 25 million people live in a 60-mile radius of the volcano, whose location is about 45 miles southeast of Mexico City.
Although we have yet to hear any negative reports from Mexican growers and suppliers, the transport delays are of importance. According to airport authorities, Mexico City’s Benito Juárez International Airport (AICM) was temporarily closed on Saturday, and some flights were delayed on Monday due to the presence of volcanic ash.
Central Mexico remains an essential region for both the buy- and supply-sides, and any potential inclement weather should be closely monitored.
We will continue to keep an eye on the situation and report accordingly. In the meantime, keep reading us here at AndNowUKnow.
