USDA mission to travel to Mexico with eye toward lifting cattle import suspension, Mexico says

MEXICO CITY, May 27 (Reuters) - A mission representing the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will travel to Mexico in the coming days, Mexico's agriculture ministry said on Tuesday, and could then lift its suspension of Mexican cattle imports.

The U.S. had suspended the imports on an outbreak of the New World screwworm, an insect which burrows into livestock and can kill them.
