Overview
- Mexico’s Agriculture Ministry published the operating rules for a white maize incentive of 800 pesos per ton in Guanajuato, Jalisco and Michoacán, limiting access to registered producers with up to 20 hectares and capping support at 200 tons per farmer.
- States are to add 150 pesos per ton to reach a total support of 950 pesos, and Michoacán authorities announced the application mechanics and made the process available online.
- Producer organizations in Michoacán declined a working session with Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla, which state officials say breaks prior agreements with state and federal authorities.
- Farmer leaders raised their demand to a fixed 6,250 pesos per ton after earlier agreeing to a 6,050 reference price with a proposed 100‑million‑peso state fund, a level the state calls unviable under current market conditions.
- Toll booths in Panindícuaro and Zinapécuaro remain seized by protesters, actions the state says violate agreed rules prohibiting road and toll plaza blockades.
