“Exporting fresh produce to the US”

In Andalusia we are fortunate for many reasons, particularly for our climate and our land. These two factors make us one of the most important fresh produce industries worldwide and we export more than 50% of our production beyond our borders. The second destination of our fresh products after the European Union is the United States, a market that has gained strategic importance for Andalusian companies in recent years due to the interesting commercial opportunities it offers. Since the publication of the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the regulatory framework of the FDA has undergone notable changes that particularly affect all those companies that produce, process, package and/or store food products for human consumption in the United States.
