Importadora y Exportadora de Frutas y Verduras, located in Tijuana, thanks to the shippers' list the USPB provided them with, was able to directly contact a shipper and import U.S. potatoes in bags that are highly demanded by the Comercial Mexicana retail chain. According to Importadora y Exportadora, last year Comercial Mexicana bought 20 percent of its potato supplies in bags, and now they are requesting 100 percent 10 lb. bags. Additionally, as a result of the technical materials the USPB engineer provided them, Importadora y Exportadora reduced their shrinkage by 2 percent.
