In Puebla, Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier announced a joint state and federal investment of 4.615 billion pesos for the ‘Revolución del Campo’ initiative, with projections for 2027 reaching 5.403 billion pesos. Conversely, producers in Sonora expressed concern over the 2027 federal budget proposal, with the Alianza Campesina del Noroeste warning of a potential 20 percent reduction in specific productive programs. By mid-October, the debate moved to the federal level. PRI deputies criticized Mexico’s stagnant economic growth and pressured Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard for increased agricultural investment. Legislators proposed reallocating 5 billion pesos to create a ‘Special Program for Rural Women’ to address economic inequalities. Additional demands included the rescue of development banking and increased protections for the tomato industry to ensure food self-sufficiency. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-16: Mexico Senate seeks to resume interparliamentary meetings with the United States Mexico's Senate is inviting U.S. legislators to resume interparliamentary meetings to discuss USMCA, security, and migrant rights. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/leticia-barrera-proposes-5-billion-peso-fund-for-mexican-rural-women ### 2026-09-29: Mexican agricultural sector faces budget shifts in Puebla and Sonora While Puebla announces a 4.6 billion peso joint investment for its agricultural sector, producers in Sonora warn of potential 20 percent budget cuts to key production programs in the 2027 federal proposal. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexican-agricultural-sector-faces-budget-shifts-in-puebla-and-sonora --- Cite as: Mexican agricultural budget and policy debates.
