Overview
- FNRCM and ANTAC scheduled a noon meeting Tuesday at the Agriculture Ministry and told members to wait at roadside points to activate blockades if talks fall short.
- Leaders said the next stoppage will target federal highways, toll plazas, customs and international bridges, with possible port actions that could slow trade to the United States.
- Farm groups pressed for a strategic grain reserve covering beans, wheat, sorghum and maize plus a 6 billion‑peso fund, including proposed withdrawals of 1 million tonnes each of sorghum and wheat and 17 million tonnes of maize.
- Transport organizations demanded safe rest areas, a federal ban on state and municipal checkpoints on national highways, exclusive National Guard authority on those roads and a specialized FGR unit for cargo theft.
- Sader chief Julio Berdegué said talks continue and offered no comment on bean producers’ claim of an unfulfilled 27‑peso‑per‑kg purchase pledge, as organizers also cited a recent 50,000‑tonne white corn import at Tuxpan.
