Abstract

Due to phytosanitary concerns, the U.S. has historically only allowed the importation of avocados from one Mexican state—Michoacán. In Michoacán, avocados have become a source of cartel conflict and violence. In August 2022, authorized shipments of avocados from an additional Mexican state – Jalisco – were allowed to enter the U.S. This research investigates the market impacts and unintended consequences of expanding the phytosanitary exclusion zone for Mexican avocados. We find that expansion of the phytosanitary exclusion zone was unequivocally beneficial from the perspective of U.S. avocado users and consumers. However, economic outcomes in the Mexican market are more nuanced, and temporal relationships suggest expansion of the phytosanitary exclusion zone may have affected cartel-related activity both in Michoacán and Jalisco.

扩大墨西哥鳄梨的植物检疫禁区:市场影响和意外后果
出于植物检疫的考虑,美国历来只允许从墨西哥的一个州--米却肯州进口鳄梨。在米却肯州,鳄梨已成为卡特尔冲突和暴力的根源。2022 年 8 月,来自墨西哥另一个州--哈利斯科州的经授权的牛油果货物获准进入美国。本研究调查了扩大墨西哥牛油果植物检疫禁区对市场的影响和意外后果。我们发现,从美国牛油果用户和消费者的角度来看,扩大植物检疫禁区无疑是有益的。然而,墨西哥市场的经济结果更加细致入微,时间关系表明,植物检疫隔离区的扩大可能影响了米却肯州和哈利斯科州与卡特尔有关的活动。

期刊介绍: Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies. Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.
