The governor of Tucuman, Juan Manzur, stated that, at the end of April or beginning of May, the US market would once again have lemons from Tucuman.
Manzur said that they had complied all regulations and that this news was "transcendent, as the products from Tucuman had achieved opening the most demanding market."
After negotiations and meetings with the authorities of the North American country, the province complied with all phytosanitary requirements and got the green light to export to the US, after two decades.
"The first products will be sent by maritime shipments. As they become cheaper, we might send them by air, like our blueberries," stated Manzur.
