Mexican Avocados: US Suspends Government Activities in Michoacán
The United States suspended its government operations in the Mexican state of Michoacán on August 5, 2026, according to Bloomberg. This decision jeopardizes American avocado imports from this region. Michoacán is Mexico's largest avocado-producing region and the primary source of supply for the United States. The extent of the consequences for import volumes and market prices remains to be determined.
