Overview
- The Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno formally signed the Acuerdo Marco on July 29 to let federal agencies buy roasted, ground coffee exclusively from cooperatives and other social‑sector producer organizations.
- Officials named the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) and the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) as early buyers and distributors for cafeterias, comedores and government offices.
- The agreement promises faster payments to producers, specifying a maximum 18‑day payment window, and requires participating groups to be certified by the Instituto Nacional de la Economía Social (INAES).
- Authorities set a near‑term scaling target of at least 70 tonnes under the program but initial reporting shows a discrepancy in the first‑phase figure reported as either 1.1 or 1.5 tonnes.
- Early implementation will test logistics, quality checks and social‑sustainability verification across states such as Puebla and Oaxaca and will run under the Sustainable Public Procurement model through December 31, 2029.
