Overview
- The accord grants a 950‑peso per‑ton payment to Bajío producers, split 800 pesos from the federation and 150 from states, targeting about 90,000 growers with limits of up to 20 hectares and 200 tons per producer.
- Authorities will expand Cosechando Soberanía to offer 8.5% annual credit and agricultural insurance to participating farmers.
- A Mexican System for Market Ordering and Commercialization of Maize is being created to set reference prices and promote direct sales to industry, with its legal structure still under analysis.
- Many Bajío roadblocks were lifted after the deal; SICT reported traffic restored at 16 of 23 federal points with seven tracts still closed, including Irapuato–Silao, Querétaro–León and Celaya–Salamanca.
- Producer leaders said an earlier 1.4‑million‑ton program cap was revised to cover all Bajío output, though officials had outlined that limit, and they expect payments to start within days in Guanajuato and Michoacán and closer to harvest in Jalisco, while Sinaloa and Querétaro groups kept protesting their exclusion and demanded a 7,200‑peso guaranteed price.
