Localized security activity in parts of Mexico is creating transportation disruptions that may impact cross‑border freight movement.

• Intermittent delays have been reported on roads connecting to the Nogales, Arizona and McAllen, Texas border crossings
• Due to shelter‑in‑place measures in certain areas, some growers are temporarily not moving product into the U.S. as a precaution for employee safety across harvesting, packing, and logistics operations
• Commodities potentially affected include limes, mixed berries, strawberries, and green onions
• Conditions remain fluid as routes adjust and security activity continues
• There are no confirmed closures of U.S. ports of entry at this time
• Markon will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed
