Avocados Back On Track Amid Security Tensions | Roanoke News

Avocado shipments from Mexico’s Michoacán region are back on track after an eight-day halt triggered by a U.S. security alert — a reprieve that brought relief to workers like Francisco Isidro, who rely on daily wages. The pause stemmed from cartel-linked violence and extortion in the area, where cartels profit beyond drugs. Though increased Mexican military presence helped lift the alert, growers remain wary: Luis Manuel Soto recently faced renewed threats, underscoring that security is fragile. While exports resume, the industry’s future remains precarious, tethered to unresolved crime and U.S. market decisions.
