  Last January, American health authorities stopped Moroccan citrus fruit entering the country. Morocco normally exports 9% of their citrus fruit to the USA, 20% to the EU and almost half to Russia. Moroccan citrus exports to the USA were suspended due to the presence of Mediterranean fruit fly larvae in a batch of clementines. Morocco and the USA have come to an agreement on a plan to deal with this fly and have decided that citrus exports to the USA can resume as of October 2016.
