A recent development in Mexico may impact avocado exports. The western state of Michoacan, a major supplier to the US, has seen a halt in inspections. This is due to concerns for worker safety.

Government operations have been suspended in the area. The reason for this suspension is related to a threat, though details are not specified. Further information on this situation can be found through the US Embassy's security alert or other sources, such as NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
