Overview

• Consumer watchdog Profeco confirmed 24 pesos per kilogram in the Gustavo A. Madero and Iztacalco boroughs of Mexico City.
• Monitoring by the Consejo Nacional de la Tortilla (CNT) found an average 2‑peso increase in some outlets in Mexico City and the State of Mexico.
• The CNT links the adjustments to higher costs for spare parts, food‑grade paper, freight, utilities, gas, equipment depreciation and security measures.
• The sector reports added pressure from labor obligations such as full aguinaldo payments, IMSS incorporation and higher wages, as well as a tighter workforce tied to social supports.
• A voluntary price agreement announced July 12 to keep tortillas near 22 pesos faces strain because individual tortilleros set their own prices, with follow‑up meetings planned for December.
