Mangosteens On The Way
Welcome at the Border: Thai Fruits, Once BannedFresh mangosteens and mangoes from Thailand will soon be available in the United States, the Agriculture Department has decided.

The new rule, published by the department last Wednesday, is effective July 23. But it will take longer for department inspectors to approve the irradiation and packing facilities and procedures. The first fruit should arrive around September, said Rapibhat Chandarasrivongs, the agricultural minister-counselor at the Thai Embassy in Washington.
