In response, the president of the Rural Development Commission, Javier Bernardo Usabiaga Arroyo, proposed improving the productive capacity in the field so as to regain the avocado, strawberry, garlic and asparagus export markets. He warned that to stay with a single market like the U.S. makes them vulnerable.
In that regard, he stressed that Mexico does not supply the European market any more with avocados, since Peru, Chile and Israel are doing so, according to El Sol de Mexico.
