Sheinbaum Kicks Off National Tour With Northern Livestock Plan to Offset U.S. Cattle Curbs

The livestock push responds to U.S. limits on live‑cattle exports through funding for breeding stock, fattening credit, integrated meat centers in northern states.

Overview

  • She announced nearly 700 million pesos for Durango and 831 million pesos for Sonora, with resources earmarked for sementales, a low‑interest engorda fund, and integrated meat production centers.
  • The first phase targets Sonora, Durango and Coahuila, and she said a second phase could extend to Chihuahua and Tamaulipas, with initial deliveries slated to begin before the end of September in Sonora.
  • The measures are framed under Plan México as a direct response to U.S. restrictions following screwworm detections that disrupted live‑cattle exports from northern producers.
  • Sheinbaum said the decree that regularizes foreign‑origin used cars will be modified due to abuses, with changes to be presented by the finance secretary in the upcoming budget package.
  • Her opening‑day events drew roughly 50,000 attendees across three states, she touted sharp homicide declines in Guanajuato and Zacatecas, and Durango’s governor publicly declared himself “Claudista.”
