Haruna:

Here's a better business opportunity for you rather than twisting
Joe's arm into mail filtering fraud/scam for a fee. I think the
Mentengo Farming Business looks more lucrative now that the USDA will
allow imports from Gambia. The organic type would probably be a better
sell.

So, if you decide to pursue this as well as the camel milk business, I
will be glad to sign a 10-year contract to keep your books for an
affordable fee to be disclosed at signing of the contract. And the
contract will be terminable only upon mutual consent. There will be a
guaranteed monthly payment and contingent fees for every question you
ask and for every report requested. Let me know if you are interested
and I will accordingly draft the contract in earnest.

USDA rule would allow African tomato imports

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed a rule to allow U.S.
imports of West African tomatoes.

An Aug. 2 USDA proposed rule in the Federal Register would allow fresh
tomatoes that meet certain phytosanitary requirements to be shipped to
the U.S. The agency said it will accept all comments received on or
before Oct. 3.

As a condition of entry, the USDA said the tomatoes from the Economic
Community of West African States will be subject to a systems approach
that would include requirements for pest exclusion at the production
site, fruit fly trapping and monitoring and procedure for packing the
tomatoes.

Senegal requested permission from the USDA to ship tomatoes to the
U.S., but the USDA is considered all the West African states — Benin,
Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory
Coast, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo
— in the pest risk assessment. Pests that were considered to pose a
high risk include the melon fruit fly, the Asian fruit fly, Medfly and
other pests.

If tomato shipments are approved, the USDA projects that tomato
exports to the U.S. from West African states would total about 1,900
metric tons per year.
