Last December, the Government of Mexico added Persian Lime to their negotiations with the Government of China. These negotiations are aimed at exporting more Mexican agricultural products to the Chinese market, including the Persian lime grown in Martinez de la Torre (Veracruz) and other producing regions of Mexico.According to Leonardo Olivares, the CEO of COPELP (The Council of Producers and Exporters of Persian Lime, AC), "the Persian lime from Martinez de la Torre is exported to the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and South Korea. If these negotiations are fruitful, it will also be exported to China. "
The Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA) and the National Health, Food Safety and Quality Service (SENASICA) continue to apply the necessary protocols so that the Mexican products meet the requirements that the Chinese government demands so they can be exported to that country.
