Holy Guacamole, Batman!

[Platapus]

The United States has suspended avocado imports from Mexico's western state of Michoacan after a US official received a threat, Mexico's Agriculture Ministry said in a statement on Saturday. According to the statement, the US Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) decided to pause until further notice the avocado inspection activities in Michoacan after one of its officers, who was carrying out inspection work in Uruapan, Michoacan, received a threatening call to his official cell phone.

Michoacan is the only state in Mexico authorized to export avocados to the United States.

APHIS-USDA reported that an investigation is currently underway to assess the threat and determine the necessary measures to guarantee the physical integrity of all of its personnel working in Michoacan.
A meeting was held between APHIS personnel and representatives of the Association of Avocado Exporting Producers and Packers of Mexico (APEAM) with local and state police to address the issue.

I like avacado’s, I bet this stunt is going jack up the prices even further. I never knew APHIS-USDA travelled abroad and worked in foreign countries either. Mexico can go suck eggs
