Mexican chillies feel the chill

They may be as much a symbol of Mexico as sombreros and cacti, but
chillies in the country are starting to lose some of their national
flavour in favour of a Chinese tang.
Farmers in Mexico are complaining that cheap imported varieties from
China now represent nearly half national production of dehydrated
chillies. Imports of fresh chillies remain minimal, although Mexican
farmers worry for how much longer.
"We thought this is our captive market, but it isn't just ours any
more," said Octavio Pozo, spokesman for the Association of National
Producers.
