Overview
- The FNRCM and ANTAC scheduled a noon Tuesday meeting at Sader and told members to position near highways to activate blockades if no agreement emerges.
- Planned actions could partially or fully close federal highways, toll booths, customs, international bridges and, if escalated, maritime ports, with possible disruption to U.S.-bound trade.
- Transporters demand secure rest stops, a federal ban on state and municipal checkpoints on federal routes, and a specialized FGR unit to tackle cargo theft and related crimes.
- Producers call for a strategic grain reserve plus withdrawals of 1 million tonnes of sorghum, 1 million of wheat sold at 6,500 pesos per tonne, and 17 million of maize to stabilize prices.
- Leaders cite an unfulfilled bean purchase at 27 pesos per kilogram as trust erodes, while Segob says working tables will continue and Sader signals ongoing dialogue.
