Comment from Roberto López Cardona, Productores y Empacadores Exportadores de Guayaba de México, A.C.

The producers of guava of Mexico we have the capacity to offer guava for fresh consumption in with quality and generating confidence to the international markets. During years we have worked to improve the phytosanitary condition and to be competitive in the market. The vision that we have is to position and to differentiate the Mexican guava in the United States, being known that we will fulfill the measures of mitigation of risk of pests that indicates the government of the import country, and have confidence in which the market of the United States will be open to export our guava, since the irradiation treatment offers confidence in the inhibition of the development of the pests without losing the quality of the fruit. We wait for a commercial movement that it benefits to both parts, generating development in the producing areas of guava of Mexico. Roberto López Cardona President of PEGUAM
