New regulations allowing for the import and storage of perishables.

In the past, latin american countries were required by law to go to facilities in Philadelphia to prevent potential spread of medflies.

Recently, the Port of Miami and Miami Internationa Airport conducted sucessful pilots of cold treatment plants.

This will allow the containers from Peru, Chile, and Argentina to bring great grapes, pears and other fruits and vegetables into South Florida.
