Mexico Allows USDA-Certified Organic Products Through Year-End

Mexico extended the deadline for U.S. organic exports to be certified under its Organic Products Law to Dec. 31, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement Tuesday.

• “USDA will continue to work with U.S. organic exporters to assist in transitioning” to compliance with the Mexican law, Vilsack said
• “This is another important step for American agriculture and for maintaining positive bilateral relations between the United States and Mexico, one of our most important export markets,” Vilsack added
