New Mexico's green chile season is in full swing as the aroma of fresh roasted peppers permeates the air
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — — New Mexico’s green chile season is in full swing as the aroma of fresh roasted peppers permeates the air, but growers and exporters in Mexico are just as busy and that’s causing a crunch at the international border.
As part of “Operation Hot Chile,” Jimenez said agricultural inspectors are being assigned to Columbus from other locations to help with the increased traffic. Despite more imports, New Mexico farmers are seeing higher yields from their crops and the state's reputation for growing what many have anointed as “the best green chile in the world" is expanding, said Travis Day, executive director of the New Mexico Chile Association.
Yet, fewer acres of chile are being grown in New Mexico today due to labor pressures and dwindling irrigation supplies. While most commercial acreage is started from seed, some farmers have shifted back to transplanting seedlings to give their crops a jumpstart. Farmers are also working with engineers to develop a mechanical harvester.
