MXThe exportation of cattle from Sonora, Mexico, through the Agua Prieta quarantine station to the United States will resume on September 8th, after the replacement of inspection equipment that caused a previous suspension. The Union Ganadera Regional de Sonora (UGRS) reported that the service was suspended on August 28th due to anomalies in the USDA-provided inspection equipment, which posed risks to workers and livestock. The new equipment installation and floor curing are expected to take three to four days. The resumption is scheduled for September 8th, as Labor Day in the US falls on September 7th. The situation has prompted UGSR to push for the opening of the Nogales quarantine facility, citing its infrastructure for receiving and inspecting livestock. The organization promises to update stakeholders on progress.
