The resumption of livestock exports from Coahuila to the United States is contingent upon the successful implementation of sanitary protocols in Sonora. Jesús María Montemayor Garza, Coahuila’s Secretary of Rural Development, indicated that the reopening of the U.S. market will occur in stages, starting with Sonora, then moving to Chihuahua and New Mexico, before reaching Coahuila via Texas.

Officials suggest that if Sonora’s protocols succeed, Coahuila could see a resumption by late October or November. However, Montemayor Garza warned that delays may occur if evaluations reveal failures in sanitary processes. The suspension of exports, linked to 271 cumulative cases of screwworm recorded in Coahuila since November 2024, has resulted in estimated economic losses for producers between 660 million and 1.2 billion pesos.
