Overview
- Seven to nine closures and at least one rail line remained affected across Irapuato, Pénjamo, León, Valle de Santiago and Abasolo, with authorities and Capufe reporting continuing disruptions into Thursday.
- Maseca’s plant in Silao was targeted overnight with tractors and vehicles blocking access, reflecting a shift to pressure large grain buyers directly.
- Farmers demand 7,200 pesos per ton for maize and 6,000 for sorghum, rejecting industry offers near 4,700–5,100 and calling federal–state complements of about 850–950 pesos per ton insufficient versus cost benchmarks near 5,700–5,800.
- Movement leaders say talks with federal officials collapsed; Mauricio Pérez renounced his spokesperson role and insisted any negotiations occur in Guanajuato with committed participation from buyers.
- Transport has been heavily disrupted with truckers stranded for hours, though protesters allow medical emergencies to pass, as state officials seek national buyer tables, limited state top-ups are floated, and the FGR questioned six Tlaxcala farmers over earlier blockades.
