<p>The temporary suspension in avocado export activities in Tancitaro, Michoacán last week to ensure the safety of APHIS employees has been lifted. According to Avocados from Mexico, harvesting resumed in Tancitaro yesterday and USDA is working with local officials to bring full production back online as quickly as possible. </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>The organization has been in touch with growers throughout Michoacán and no other municipalities have been affected. Given the government support in the region, no further shutdowns are anticipated. </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>USDA did not elaborate on the details that caused the shut down, but the industry is aware that the war on drugs in Mexico has affected life in the country as well as the rural areas that are home to many growers in the industry. Mexico continues to be the world's largest supplier of avocados year-round. Exporters are able to source supplies from the other 20+ USDA-approved municipalities in Michoacán to keep the market well supplied.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>Stay tuned to AndNowUKnow as we provide you with any additional information as it becomes available.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.theamazingavocado.com" target="_new"> Avocados from Mexico </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
