AVOCADOS FROM MEXICO
February 1st 2007, trade barriers for the
importation of Hass Avocados from Mexico into
California, Florida and Hawaii were lifted. This is
a historic moment for the Avocado Produce and
Exporting Packers Association of Michoacan (APEAM),
which represents over 3,600 growers and 26 packers,
and has seen exponential growth in exports to the
United States. For the 2006-07 season exports to the
US are expected to be 400,000,000 pounds, nearly
double in comparison with the 2005-2006 season,.
To ensure the safety of Avocados from Mexico, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) works with
APEAM in inspecting avocado orchards and
packinghouses of Michoacan.
Currently the world’s largest producer of avocados,
Mexico is responsible for over a third of total
global avocado production. Avocados from Mexico also
represent more than 40% of total exports of avocado,
worldwide.

THE WALDORF=ASTORIA
The Waldorf=Astoria becomes member of the US-Mexico
Chamber of Commerce
The Waldorf=Astoria, located at 301 Park Avenue New
York, NY 10022, is synonymous with the elegance and
grandeur of the best of New York City. An official
New York City landmark since 1993, the 625-foot, 47-storied,
Art Deco property occupies an entire city block of
prime, mid-town Manhattan real estate. Recent
renovations totaling $400 million have renewed the
splendor that has long made The Waldorf=Astoria an
international icon.
On March 24, 1893, millionaire William Waldorf Astor
opened the 13-story Waldorf Hotel, at the site where
his former mansion stood, at Fifth Avenue at 33rd
Street. Built by renowned architect Henry
Hardenbergh, The Waldorf was the embodiment of
Astor's vision of a grand hotel, complete with
electricity throughout and private bathrooms in many
guest chambers – two of a long list of Waldorf
firsts.
Four years later, in 1897, The Waldorf was joined by
the 17-story Astoria Hotel, erected on an adjacent
site by Waldorf’s cousin, John Jacob Astor IV. The
Corridor built to connect the two buildings became
an enduring symbol of the combined Waldorf and
Astoria hotels, which is represented by the “=” in
The Waldorf=Astoria.
In 1929, after decades of hosting distinguished
visitors from around the world, the original Waldorf=Astoria
closed to pave the way for a reincarnation 15 blocks
north on Park Avenue. The current hotel opened on
October 1, 1931 as the world’s largest and tallest
hotel – 625 feet tall, with 47 floors, 42 which are
guest floors – a veritable city-within-a-city. Today
it remains one of the world’s largest Art Deco
buildings and The Waldorf=Astoria continues to be
one of the city’s most beloved and utilized
institutions.
