Government agrees on white corn price in three states
Agriculture Secretary Julio Berdegué announced a price of 6,050 pesos per ton for white corn in Guanajuato, Jalisco, and Michoacán. This agreement, reached through dialogue tables with producers and state governments, includes credit at 8.5% interest and agricultural insurance. However, some farmers express dissatisfaction, arguing it does not cover their production costs plus adequate profitability.
Corn farmers free one lane in road blockades as show of good faith
Corn producers in Michoacán, Guanajuato, and Jalisco announced the release of one lane in their road blockades as a gesture of good faith to speed up negotiations with the federal government. This follows dialogue commitments with senators, though they reject the offered price of 6,050 pesos per ton and demand 7,200 pesos. The blockades, started on October 27, have left hundreds stranded for over 20 hours.
