1) I never thought I’d see the day: Lemons from #Argentina, banned since 2001, are now available at Wegmans.pic.twitter.com/SMC7MKIUaF
2) The milestone is not only significant for beach bums thirsting for refreshing lemonade. The U.S. ban was a perpetual diplomatic irritant, exacerbated by President Trump’s protectionist measures against #Argentina’s lucrative biodiesel exports.
3) #Argentina is the world’s top lemon producer, and the U.S. is the world’s top lemon consumer, @cohenluc has reported. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-argentina-lemons-idUSKCN1252DA …
4) The lemon industry is vital to #Argentina’s poor northwest, where lifting the U.S. ban, imposed out of concerns that Argentine pests would infest California citrus groves, has been a top priority.
5) Lemons on U.S. supermarket shelves signal a political win for President @mauriciomacri, whose initial failure to secure market access, despite a warm Oval Office meeting in April 2017, damaged his image as a dealmaker cashing in on #Argentina’s international reengagement.
6) But the concentrated economic impacts will not move the needle for #Argentina’s struggling economy. Renewed market access, granted last August, permits delivery to East Coast ports of 30,000 tons of lemons per year, a sliver of the 1.4 million tons the country grows.
