Port Chiapas, in Mexico, rather than Port Quetzal, Prensa Libre reported.

    Marco Garcia, CEO of Del Monte Guatemala, said the port's focus on cruise ships has caused delays of up to nine hours, "and this is unacceptable for perishable food".

    Del Monte ships about 150 banana containers a week, which represent $3.6 million in port fees, which will now go to Port Chiapas.
