Sheinbaum Unveils Beef Export-Quality Program, Sets SaltilloNuevo Laredo Train Start for Sept. 9

The initiative redirects financing to help ranchers shift to export-grade beef following the U.S. halt to live-cattle imports.

Overview

  • The federal plan launches with low-interest fattening credits, delivery of breeding bulls and construction of integrated processing centers, with initial deliveries pledged before the end of September.
  • Funding announced totals 831 million pesos for Sonora, 700 million for Durango and about 650 million for Coahuila as part of the first stage focused on northern states.
  • Officials said the program counters the U.S. suspension tied to the screwworm issue, while Agriculture Ministry talks with the USDA are progressing toward a technical path for reopening the border.
  • In Coahuila, Sheinbaum confirmed the Sept. 9 kickoff for the SaltilloNuevo Laredo passenger train and reiterated priorities to favor AHMSA workers over creditors and to continue the Pasta de Conchos recovery.
  • The tour showcased coordination with opposition governors who voiced support, even as Sheinbaum’s Coahuila event drew protests from AHMSA workers, IMSS staff and local residents.
