Tamaulipas agriculture and livestock development updates

Overview

In August 2026, the Tamaulipas government expanded livestock support through the Extensionism Pecuario program, allocating 21 million pesos for genetic improvement. While producers agreed to a voluntary 30-peso per head contribution to combat screwworm larvae, the Unión Ganadera Regional de Tamaulipas warned that rehabilitating abandoned ranches requires multimillion-peso investments.

The agricultural sector faces a significant decline in sorghum production due to drought, with yields projected at only 800,000 tons. Juan Manuel Salinas Sánchez, manager of the Unión Agrícola Regional del Norte de Tamaulipas, has requested an ‘Emergent Support’ program consisting of a tripartite aid model of 1,700 pesos per hectare—comprising 800 pesos from the federal government, 400 pesos from the state, and a 500-peso interest discount from FIRA—to offset low international prices and yields of only 2 to 3 tons per hectare.

In response to these challenges, Secretary of Rural Development Antonio Varela Flores has led an inter-institutional working group to develop a Reconversion Plan. This initiative, involving agencies such as SADER, CONAGUA, and SENASICA, aims to establish technical alternatives to create a more sustainable and competitive agricultural sector in northern Tamaulipas.

Regarding international trade, Mexico resumed live cattle exports to the United States via the Agua Prieta-Douglas border on August 24, 2026, following a 14-month screwworm-related suspension. Initial shipments began at 750 heads per day, with targets of 1,300 to 1,500 animals daily. Safety protocols include RFID tags, canine inspections, and the weekly release of 12 million sterile flies to manage the parasite.
