Furthermore, support covers 50% of specialized training and technical assistance (up to $100,000 peso)
The same applies to greenhouse insurance, market studies; certification (GAP&GMP); promotion of protected agriculture product, etc.

Concluding Remarks
US/FL acreage continued to decrease but production and value stable after 2013 Suspension Agreement.
Average weekly import prices increased by 15%. Imports continued to increase after Agreement. The two prices are now more correlated.
More in-depth price analysis showed: Increase in import prices boosted US price after new Agreement.
Agreement helped! But is that enough?
