Jose Santos
Trade Secretary
It is with deep regret that I inform our trade partners that due to the recent earthquake and flooding in our largest agricultural producing state our promised deliveries of Avacados, White and Red Grapes, Apples, and Strawberries will have to be drastically downsized or eliminated this year.
The breach of the Harmony Lake Dam and subsquent flooding has caused irreparable damage to this years crops and had destroyed the packing and shipping facilies as well as domiciles of tens of thousands of our farmers.
We are asking for patience as we begin to rebuild and for assistance in the form of increased trade for those crops.
Thank you
