A collaboration agreement was signed between Veggies from Mexico and the Research Center for Food and Development, “Centro de Investigación en Alimentación y Desarrollo” (CIAD Culiacán).
CIAD has been a longstanding ally of growers from Sinaloa. Together, they have faced phytosanitary, safety, and commercial challenges. In 2008, CIAD’s support demonstrated that a salmonella crisis in the U.S. did not originate from Mexican tomatoes. Additionally, CIAD conducted studies to facilitate the entry of Mexican tomatoes into Japan in 2006. Furthermore, CIAD played a key role in analyzing the transmission of the Blue Tobacco Mold affecting Mexican peppers, enabling market access in the eastern region.
