NPC protests imports
of Mexican peaches
MARTINSBURG, W. Va. -
An announcement by USDA
that it has issued a permit
for the importation of fresh
peaches from one area in
Mexico has caused the
National Peach Council to
send a letter of protest to
Secretary of Agriculture Bob
Bergland.
USDA had put out a news
release that it had issued a
permit for importation of
peaches from the Nuevo
Casas Grandes area of
Mexico through a firm in El
Paso, Tex.
An estimated 300,000 boxes
of peaches may come in
under the permit this year, if
it is allowed to stand. In the
past, fresh peaches from
Mexico have been barred
because of the possibility of
spreading Mexican fruit fly,
a dangerous pest of citrus
and soft fruits.
According to a news
release from USDA’s Animal
and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), the permit
was issued to allow fruit to
“chugging” contests, and a
calf dressing contest.
Donald L. Ace of State
College, this year’s Dairy
Expo dedicatee, is a Penn
State graduate. He received
both bachelor and master of
science degrees from Penn
State with c major in dairy
nutrition and is currently
an Extension dairy
specialist.
Concluding the Exposition
festivities will be the annual
awards banquet held the
evening of May 7th in the
Ballroon of the Hetzel Union
Building. The purpose of this
dinner is to recognize Donald
Ace, and present prizes to
contest winners. Also, the
Robert H. Rumler Award,
the Clyde N. Hall Award, and
the William R. Davey Award
will be presented to out
standing students for their
college achievements.
be imported from only one
isolated area known to be
free of the Mexican fruit fly.
Peach growers in the
southern part of the United
States, and particularly in
south Georgia where the
Mexican fruit fly could
overwinter if it ever became
established, point out there
is still some danger as long
as the peaches cannot be
treated to guarantee that
none of the pests could
survive the journey into the
United States. Citrus can be
treated, but the treatment
would ruin fresh peaches.
National Peach Council
has sent a strongly worded
letter of protest to Secretary
Bergland, asking that the
import permit be withdrawn.
