Georgia Peaches to Mexico and USDA Terminates some DEI Awards
From the Ag Information Network, this is your Agribusiness Update.
**Georgia Ag Commissioner Tyler Harper announced, in coordination with ‘Genuine Georgia’ and Atlanta-based ‘Reveam’, that Georgia Grown peaches have been exported to Mexico for the first time in 27 years.
www.morningagclips.com reports Mexico has had strict import restrictions on peaches produced in the southeastern U.S. due to pest concerns since 1994.
Reveam’s proprietary, USDA-approved Electronic Cold-Pasteurization technology enabled Genuine Georgia to meet Mexico’s import requirements and ship Georgia Grown peaches to Mexico.

**Chinese Customs has approved 106 new U.S. pork and poultry plants to export eligible products to China produced on or after June 12.
Reuters reports the announcement comes after China and the U.S. reached an agreement last month in Geneva on a framework to get their trade talks back on track.
The newly approved facilities include 23 pork plants and 83 poultry plants, according to a Chinese Customs database.
**Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the USDA will terminate more than 145 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion focused awards, totaling up to $148.6 million in savings.
According to www.agrimarketing.com, Rollins says putting American Farmers First means cutting the millions of dollars wasted on woke DEI propaganda.
She adds, it will end the waste, fraud, and abuse that’s diverted resources from American farmers and restoring sanity and fiscal stewardship to the USDA.
