Avocado pickers in Mexico welcome restart of exports to US, but security fears remain - AP News

US officials halted avocado imports from Mexicos Michoacn state last week following a security incident targeting agricultural inspectors.

Local restaurants briefly scrambled for alternative sources. They can now rest easier knowing their key ingredient is back on track. For families hosting Friday night fajita dinners, or students grabbing a quick bite off 19th Street, their avocado toast and taco toppings remain secure. America consumes over 2.5 billion pounds of avocados annually. Their consistent flow is more vital to our daily routines than many people realize.
