Sonora cattle export resumes as Tamaulipas launches Texas export program

Sonora cattle export Tamaulipas Texas program barrenador worm controls Mexican SMEs US market access

Mexico will reopen the Sonora‑United States cattle export corridor on 24 August. Authorities expect the first shipments to total about 11,000 head of cattle per month – roughly 54 % of the pre‑block average – and anticipate that the sector could recover up to 40 % of the income lost during the closure. The reopening is conditioned on new sanitary measures aimed at controlling the barrenador worm, including enhanced inspections and electronic ear‑tag identification.

The state of Tamaulipas has introduced the “De Tamaulipas para Texas” programme to help micro, small and medium‑size enterprises access the Texas market. The initiative, overseen by Secretary of Economy Ninfa Cantú Deándar and supported by Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya, provides training, market studies, certification assistance, logistics support and financing. It targets sectors such as food, beverages, agro‑industrial products and crafts, and links producers with major Texas retailers like H‑E‑B and Stripes.
