U.S. allows tomatoes from Moroccan province
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will allow imports of commercial tomato shipments from Morocco’s Souss-Massa-Draa province if certain pest controls are met.
Pest controls are required at production sites and packinghouses. The tomatoes must also be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate provided by the Moroccan government with an additional declaration stating the tomatoes have been grown in the Souss-Massa-Draa province and were pink at the time of packing.
The USDA regulation becomes effective Dec. 2.
