Overview
- Frente Nacional de Rescate del Campo and the transporters’ group ANTAC announced coordinated actions on Nov. 24 to halt the flow of merchandise, including highway blockades and the takeover of customs facilities.
- Organizers said operations are planned across roughly 25 states and emphasized they intend to stop cargo movement without blocking private vehicles or passenger buses.
- The Fiscalía General de la República has called in producers to testify after Ferromex’s complaints over obstructed rail lines, with reports ranging from about 12–14 cited in Guanajuato to roughly 60 nationwide.
- Producers are pressing the Interior Ministry to deactivate the investigations and continue negotiations on maize pricing, rejecting Sader’s 6,350‑peso-per-ton offer as insufficient while holding talks with buyers such as Maseca.
- ANTAC linked its participation to road insecurity and extortion, claiming criminal groups are stealing 55–60 cargo vehicles per day, and allied groups signaled possible border crossing closures if demands go unmet.
