Overview
- The accord grants 950 pesos per ton to Bajío growers, with 800 pesos from the federal government and 150 from state coffers, covering about 90,000 producers with up to 20 hectares and a cap of 200 tons per farmer.
- The government will create a Mexican Market Ordering and Maize Commercialization System to publish reference prices before sowing and promote direct sales between producers and buyers.
- Most roadblocks in Guanajuato, Jalisco and Michoacán were lifted after the agreement, with federal authorities reporting traffic restored at 16 of 23 points and remaining closures concentrated on a handful of stretches.
- Producer actions continue in states outside the deal — notably Sinaloa, Morelos and Baja California — where groups demand 7,200 pesos per ton and warn of escalated blockades if excluded from relief.
- The package expands Cosechando Soberanía loans at 8.5% with crop insurance, and officials cite roughly a 21% drop in international maize prices in pesos as major millers reportedly agreed to pay above import parity for domestic grain.
