Mexican white maize subsidy dispute

Overview

Agricultural producers in central Mexico, led by the Confederación Agropecuaria de México, announced plans for protests and potential highway roadblocks in municipalities such as Pénjamo and Silao. The mobilization was intended to demand that the federal government fulfill unpaid incentives of 800 pesos per ton of white maize, alongside state-level supplements.

Following these demands, Mexico’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRICULTURA) reported the completion of 100% of the white maize incentive payments for the Spring-Summer 2025 cycle across several states, including Guanajuato. The program reportedly benefited over 39,000 producers. To resolve remaining issues, the ministry established a specialized assistance desk to help producers with documentation and files.
