Mexico Sets Tomato Export Prices to Ease Trade Spat With Trump
By and Maya Averbuch Save Mexico set minimum prices for fresh tomato exports to the US, seeking to regain full access to the market after the Trump administration imposed an anti-dumping duty. Setting the floor avoids generating 'a distortion in the prices' of tomato exports, the Mexican government said in a decree published in the federal gazette late Friday. US growers have accused Mexican counterparts of selling at unfairly low prices, and the US withdrew this year from a trade agreement regulating the exports.

Entrepreneur aims to add overlooked necessity to standard hotel amenities: 'Very few guests feel comfortable asking for them'
Entrepreneur aims to add overlooked necessity to standard hotel amenities: 'Very few guests feel comfortable asking for them' When it comes to sustainability and single-use plastic products, feminine care is often the least talked about — particularly in the hospitality world. However, one woman is hoping to change the narrative. Affi Parvizi-Wayne is the founder of Freda — a London-based, eco-minded period care company with hopes of becoming the hotel standard. "It's quite striking that, despite the industry's drive to become more responsible, it often neglects one of the most basic needs of its female guests," Parvizi-Wayne said, according to Forbes. Tampons and pads are rarely included with amenities in high-end hotels. Even when they are available by request, Parvizi-Wayne said that "very few guests feel comfortable asking for them. Most women prefer not to announce their periods at the hotel reception." Made by women, for women, using organic, biodegradable, and toxin-free materials, Freda was born in 2018 from efforts to provide hygiene kits to refugees. Tampons are made from 100% organic cotton, while pads are made of 70% natural materials. Even the packaging is recyclable, and the company uses a carbon-neutral facility in Sweden for manufacturing that runs on 100% renewable energy, generating zero landfill waste. Per Forbes, Parvizi-Wayne pointed out that using Freda products "supports guest well-being and aligns with broader sustainability goals — especially when these products are eco-friendly." Sustainable products come with their own challenges, to say the least. Freda is looking into season-specific packaging after facing issues due to recent heatwaves causing packaging to break down mid-transit. Parvizi-Wayne pointed out the transparency of supply chains is murky at best when it comes to sustainability. "Many so-called eco products are made in China, which makes auditing of the factory's sustainability credentials rather difficult," she said, per Forbes. Feminine care products have been under the microscope after several studies have found they contain toxic chemicals. Glyphosate — an herbicide most common in RoundUp — was found in tampons sold in the United Kingdom. United States lawmakers are working to ban the sale of feminine products containing PFAS, which have been found in period products — even the sustainable, reusable kinds. These "forever chemicals" have been linked to cancer, reproductive complications, and other health problems. Which of these factors would most effectively motivate you to buy a refillable product?

Finding trustworthy, dependable, eco-friendly products that aren't greenwashing can be more difficult than one might think. Doing the research is well worth the effort to maximize purchasing power and support eco-conscious brands. Not to mention, it's the healthier choice for you and the planet. "Supporting menstrual health is integral to promoting overall wellness," Parvizi-Wayne said.

Paris Saint-Germain opens the door for Donnarumma's departure
Departure from Paris is accompanied by clear English interest. Paris Saint-Germain opens the door for Donnarumma's departure Paris Saint-Germain and Donnarumma: It seems the story that began in 2021 is about to end because the player has not reached a suitable new contract agreement with the French club, according to reliable source Nicolo Schira. Paris Saint-Germain have proactively placed their 26-year-old Italian international goalkeeper on the transfer market, despite his contract running until 2026. Club officials aim to secure a €30 million fee this summer rather than risk losing him for free later. English outlets report the shot-stopper favors a Premier League move, with Manchester United emerging as his preferred destination. This interest persists despite the Red Devils' recent struggles, demonstrating the keeper's belief in the project at Old Trafford. The former AC Milan goalkeeper was a key factor in the French team's success last season, when they won the Champions League,Ligue 1, and the French Cup.
