I would like to comment that we have suffered a lost in the Allspice crop due to the entrance of Hurricane Grace to the main production area of Allspice.

 

Last August 21st, the hurricane Grace entered to the Mexican territory for the second time to Veracruz, the first time was to Quintana Roo and Yucatan (affecting also the production are of Tabasco with some strong rains); and these areas suffered great material affectations because of the strong rains that have continued the whole week and because of the hurricane winds (205 – 240 km/hr) that affected all the areas, leaving the main cities and specially the small towns without electricity for more tan 4 days, and also the communications (telephone and internet) were very limited, and causing a lost of Allspice of 50 – 60%.

 

The floods and the continuous rains are preventing us to continue drying, and as we do not have enought electricity, the product we had in the warehouse is beginning to go bad, for that reason we will require some days to review the situation of the collection and drying to be able to offer again.

 

Thank you for your attention and comprehension.

THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN MY COUNTRY, WHICH IS THAOUSANDS KILOMETER AWAY FROM MEXICO. EXTREME WEATHER HIT SPICE PRODUCER ISLANDS. HARD RAINS HITS DURING THE PEAK OF DRY SEASON. THIS WOULD MAKE ALL SPICE CROPS TOTALLY FAIL. FOR EXAMPLE CLOVE. ONLY AROUND 5% CROPS, WITH VERY BAD QUALITY.
