USA's Markets Finally Open To Uruguay
« on: August 04, 2014, 12:04:56 PM »
Uruguayan citrus advisor Federico Montes told www.freshfruitportal.com that in September last year the country’s dream of opening up exports to the United States finally became a reality.

“Of the 63,000 [metric] tons of citrus exports to date, 5,200 were sent to the U.S., making it currently the industry’s third most important market,” Montes said.

He added that citrus exported to the North American country were sold under the brand ‘Uruguay Natural’, which was another point of the strategic plan, and he emphasized the importance of produce having a good image to consumers.
