51 of the 64 native maize races were preserved through 191 seed banks and seed houses established by the strategy.

21% was the reduction in maize production cost per ton, associated with a 14% decrease in agrochemical spending and 6.5% lower operating costs.

25% was the yield increase achieved in maize crops across 25 states during 2025, with technical support and agroecological practices from Farmer Field Schools.

The Great Forests of Mesoamerica (GFM) Program is a five-year (2023–2027) European Union initiative under the #TeamEurope approach to strengthen the protection and sustainable use of Mesoamerica’s great forests and other relevant areas such as the Trifinio Region. Its overall objective is to improve conservation and sustainability through four components: (1) data and transparency for decision-making, (2) forest governance and biodiversity conservation, (3) sustainable and deforestation-free production and trade, and (4) environmental rights and forest defense. The program operates at regional, national and sub-national levels, combining technical assistance, work with regional partners, and cascading grants with local partners. It is designed to complement national and sub-national actions and to integrate synergies with more than 100 ongoing actions across Mesoamerican forests. Additionally, it includes a Program Secretariat within the #EURECA framework to ensure coordination, coherence and alignment with the EU’s strategic objectives in the region.

A Mexican government initiative that promotes productive reforestation, rural income generation, and social inclusion through direct support to farmers for planting fruit and timber trees, combining environmental sustainability and local development.

Institutional program of the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) aimed at evaluating, highlighting, and strengthening the impact of its financing and technical cooperation operations in the agricultural sector of Latin America and the Caribbean. The initiative promotes a model of sustainable, inclusive, and regenerative agriculture, integrating climate resilience, technological innovation, efficient management of natural resources, and the inclusion of small producers in sustainable value chains.

Mexico’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development reports that technical assistance and agroecological practices implemented through Field Schools achieved maize yield increases of up to 25% in 25 states during 2025. The strategy also reduced production costs and promoted seed banks, producer associations and sustainable production practices.

Trade and cooperation policy framework between Mexico and the European Union modernising the Global Agreement in force since 2000. The MGA and ITA incorporate updated disciplines on trade, trade facilitation, services, investment, digital trade, sustainable development, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, rules of origin, anti-corruption and public procurement. The agreement expands agri-food market access, strengthens value chains and improves legal certainty for trade and investment.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced its withdrawal from and termination of the 2019 Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Duty Investigation on Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico, under Section XI.B of the agreement, which allows withdrawal with 90 days’ written notice. Following termination of the agreement, Commerce issued an antidumping duty order resulting in duties of 17.09 percent on most imports of tomatoes from Mexico. The source states that the measure responds to unfair trade practices and sales of Mexican tomatoes in the United States at prices considered unfair.

This technical cooperation aims to strengthen the institutional capacities of the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) through the development and implementation of strategic tools and specialized instruments that increase the effectiveness of public policies oriented towards sectoral competitiveness and sustainability of the Mexican agricultural and fishing sector. The TC will support studies, methodologies and specialized consultancies that will strengthen the registry and program roster system, the agricultural and rural statistics system, including support in remote sensing methodologies and direct marketing models between small and medium producers. It will also finance the development of a Master Plan for Sustainable Development of Fishing, Aquaculture and Mariculture in the Peninsula and Gulf of California. The project seeks to address the structural challenges of the Mexican agricultural sector related to limited institutional capacities, fragmented information systems and barriers to the inclusion of small and medium producers. The initiative contributes directly to strengthening national food security through more effective and sustainable public policies.
