$240M in produce losses blamed on truck delays at US-Mexico border

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s increased inspections of trucks created hourslong wait times for commercial traffic at key U.S.-Mexico border crossings and resulted in hundreds of millions in lost revenue because of spoiled produce, trade experts said.

Abbott ended his policy of increased inspections of commercial trucks arriving from Mexico on Friday after reaching migrant border security agreements with governors of nearby Mexican states.

Since it opened in 1994, the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge has been one of the busiest commercial ports of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border. The city of Pharr, which operates the bridge, has reshaped itself over the decades from a small, dusty...

Teclo Garcia, Laredo’s economic development director, said cellphones were the top imports from China through Port Laredo during 2020.
