The U.S. suspended all imports of Mexican avocados that could send prices to near-record highs in the coming weeks on diminishing supplies if the ban remains in place. The reason for the import halt is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspector was threatened by what is presumed to be drug cartel members.

"U.S. health authorities…made the decision after one of their officials, who was carrying out inspections in Uruapan, Michoacan, received a threatening message on his official cellphone," Mexico's Agriculture Department said in a statement. -AP News

The surprise halt comes as the price of a 20-pound box of avocados from the state of Michoacan, Mexico (the central hub of Mexican avocado production) is approximately $26.89, the highest ever for this time of year with data going back to 1998.

Wait till the produce crosses the border and then do the inspection, or hire inspectors with cojones.

Mexican

When I was driving the big truck I picked up a load of Mexican produce in Yuma, Arizona. i was heading for the Indian Casino in New Mexico to take my break.

I was on 2-lane road in New Mexico. It was just about dusk. I come around a curve and the headlights fell on a brown object in the road. It was and ELK! I hit the brakes and moved as far left as possible without dropping steer tire off pavement. I just missed hitting it.

So I put out a broad cast on CB radio that there were Elk out here/ Some driver came back and says, "Elk! I haven't seen Elk in a long time." I told him, "You don't want to see these Elk. They are too close to the road. I almost hit one."
