FAVIR and the Fruits and Vegetables Manual: FAVIR (here) and the Fruits and Vegetables Manual (here) have been revised. There were several reasons for the revisions:

- Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua: tomato: clarified the program requirements for tomatoes
- Spain: Verna lemon: revised the list of approved growers for Verna lemons in Spain
