USDA has reopened the Chinese market for California citrus allowing farmers to resume exports to the country this season.
“Resuming trade before the start of the 2014 citrus shipping season is the result of a lot of effort by a number of USDA employees, who worked very closely with their foreign counterparts to resolve China's concerns,” Vilsack said. “Their extra effort means California citrus growers can once again ship to this important market.”
