In a recent development, U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar commended Mexico for its efforts to ensure the safety of U.S. agricultural inspectors in the state of Michoacan. This comes after the U.S. temporarily suspended avocado and mango inspections following an attack on inspectors in the conflict-ridden region.
Salazar visited Michoacan to hold discussions with state and federal officials regarding the security of inspectors in the area, which has been plagued by violence associated with organized crime.
