This is due to the presence of citrus greening and quarantining Alabama, Florida, georgia, Guam, hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, Texas, three countries in South Carolina, and portions of three counties in California due to the presence of Asian citrus psyllid, a vector of the bacterial pathogen that causes citrus greening.
