Unanticipated new requirements by the Mexican government will make U.S. fresh potato shippers wait longer to access the entire country, according to National Potato Council CEO Kam Quarles.

Mexico limits U.S. fresh potatoes to an area within 16.15 miles of the U.S. border. The Mexican Supreme Court on April 28 lifted the restriction.
