Overview
- The program, which President Claudia Sheinbaum presented on Saturday in Pijijiapan, Chiapas, begins territorial rollout in seven southern and southeastern states.
- Officials say the first stage will reach 677,000 producer families farming 886,687 hectares and seeks a 20 percent rise in yield per hectare.
- Federal support packages include direct economic aid, permanent technical assistance, region‑adapted collective machinery and funds for value‑added projects such as tortillerías or tostada factories.
- The plan ties procurement guarantees to program goals, citing a purchase price near 7,200 pesos per ton, and will use programs like Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro for field accompaniment to encourage generational renewal.
- The government projects scaling the initiative to 1.5 million small producers in 29 states by 2030 to preserve Mexico's native maize diversity and reduce farmers' dependence on a few commercial seed companies.
