Titan Farms announced a significant milestone in international trade: the shipment of its first load of peaches to Mexico last week. This event marks the first export of eastern peaches to Mexico since 2014, signaling a revival in cross-border fruit trade and fostering economic opportunities for both countries.
This development is made possible through Reveam's USDA-approved phytosanitary treatment known as Electronic Cold-Pasteurization® (ECP®). 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 that compromise food quality. The company's adherence to this stringent standard underscores its commitment to delivering quality produce while meeting global regulatory requirements.
"This momentous occasion represents a culmination of our team's hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence," said Chalmers Carr, CEO and president of Titan Farms.
The export of eastern peaches to Mexico opens new avenues for collaboration and trade between Titan and Mexican markets. It not only expands the reach of the company's produce but also showcases its dedication to innovation and compliance with international standards.
"This momentous occasion represents a culmination of our team's hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence," said Chalmers Carr, CEO and president of Titan Farms. "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."
The resumption of eastern peach exports to Mexico signifies a momentous shift in trade dynamics, particularly considering the history of regulatory restrictions surrounding this trade route. 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.
This milestone is expected to generate significant buzz within the agricultural and international trade sectors. The company looks forward to further collaborations that promote the exchange of high-quality agricultural products across borders.
