Overview
- Grupo Minsa disclosed to the Mexican stock exchange that the March 12 open contract to process 24,000–60,000 tonnes of government-owned maize into branded flour, valued at about 346.2 million pesos, was terminated on July 9 with no deliveries or payments.
- The termination dictamen dated July 2 cites insufficient monthly requirements for nixtamalized flour and maize inventory already earmarked for the Programa de Abasto Rural as the reasons for ending the agreement.
- A Diconsa market check found other major mills declined the government-supplied input scheme, leaving Minsa as the only willing processor at 5,200–8,200 pesos per tonne, while Molinos Azteca offered flour using its own maize at 13,500 pesos per tonne and Hari Masa proposed conditions incompatible with the tender.
- Media reviews of public procurement platforms report Minsa received roughly 190–205 federal awards in 2025 totaling about 183–187 million pesos, while separate reporting notes 853 Segalmex-Diconsa contracts in 2022–2024 summing 369 million pesos.
- Minsa states government sales have fallen to 4.2% of revenue in 2025, and Diconsa has not announced how it will replace the canceled Maíz para Todos processing scheme.
