Mexican grape harvest has begun.

AALPUM, the Mexican table grape growers association, said in a news release that the March 19 estimate of 19.7 million boxes for Mexican table grape production remains unchanged.

The group released a video demonstrating the protections put in place by growers to ensure the safety of workers, according to a news release.

“The Mexican Growers wish to assure our consumers and retail partners that, now more than ever, every effort is being made to take care of our people and our products,” according to the release.
