For the first time in 92 years, Mexico has been given authorisation by the FDA to export its avocados to the USA all year round and to all states.
Previously, it could only do so at certain times of the year and to certain states.
Mexico is the world's biggest exporter of avocados with annual exports of 42,790 tonnes.
