We inspected the inspectors checking fresh produce and cut
flowers about to be exported. The limited-access facility, located
near the airport, is the last stop before the products are put on a plane.
Fresh cut flowers are a growing export to the US. The facility
includes a USDA-employed inspector, a fumigation chamber to make sure no
pests are exported, and even a drug-sniffing dog to make sure no illegal
exports are included among the thousands of kilos of bananas and other
produce.
