Mexico rolls out agricultural aid programs across several states

The government of Guerrero, led by Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda, distributed maize for self‑consumption and improved seed to more than 450 families in the municipality of Chilapa, aiming to boost food security and rural incomes.

In Puebla, Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier announced historic budget allocations for the agricultural sector: 1.7 billion pesos for food‑sovereignty programs and 1.5 billion pesos for the Community‑Work Programme. The state supplied 1,800 pieces of machinery to cultivate 200,000 hectares, pledged to recover 300,000 hectares by next year, and provided over 7 million pesos in inputs to more than 1,250 producers in Huauchinango and surrounding towns.

Chihuahua’s State Rural Development Secretariat opened a public call for projects that protect, conserve and restore natural resources. Grants of up to 250,000 pesos and financing of up to 1.5 million pesos per proposal are available to ejidos, municipalities and other rural collectives for forest, aquaculture, fisheries, water‑resource and agricultural initiatives.

In Aguascalientes, the federal Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) conducted training sessions at field schools in El Llano and Jesús María, teaching bean seed inoculation with mycorrhizae and fertilisation techniques to improve crop yields and promote sustainable practices.

These coordinated efforts aim to strengthen food security, modernise production and support small‑holder farmers across multiple Mexican regions.
