Overview
- The Mariposa port remains largely closed by 93 farmers from Sinaloa for a second day as they demand overdue federal payments and a 7,000‑peso floor per ton for white wheat.
- Following negotiations with local haulers, protesters allowed 50 tractor‑trailers to cross at 11:20 a.m., but organizers said the shutdown will continue until demands are addressed.
- Index Nogales estimates roughly 3,000 trucks normally use the port and puts daily trade at risk near $50 million, a strain on maquiladoras and local employment.
- Leaders from the farm movement and ANTAC entered a Segob meeting after delays, alleging attempts to insert negotiators tied to Maseca and Minsa, while ANTAC said solutions are being conditioned on lifting blockades.
- Transport operators reported tire and autopart thefts from stopped rigs and some armed threats during the protests, intensifying calls for stronger highway security.
