Overview
- SADER released the operational mechanics for the Spring–Summer 2025 cycle, setting incentives at 800 pesos per tonne from the federal government plus 150 pesos per tonne from state governments.
- Initial payments are slated for next week in Campeche, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacán, Querétaro and Tlaxcala.
- Eligibility limits include producers with up to 20 hectares, a cap of 200 tonnes per producer and registration in Agriculture’s beneficiary registry.
- Territorial deployment begins Monday with a focus on the Bajío, targeted support in Chihuahua and outreach tied to the next harvest in Sinaloa.
- Officials cite steep price declines since 2022 and rising reliance on roughly one million tonnes of white‑maize imports as they pursue buyer–producer purchase guarantees, with separate supports for small producers still in design.
