The natural origin for United States programmes

Mexico is the largest lime producer and exporter in the world, supplying Persian (Tahiti) lime into the United States with short transit and truck-based distribution. Packhouses are broadly aligned to PrimusGFS and FSMA/FSVP expectations, which shortens onboarding for US buyers.
