The Mexico-FAO Country Programming Framework 2026-2031 guides the priorities, goals, and mechanisms for technical and financial cooperation between the Government of Mexico and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations over six years. Its purpose is to accelerate the transition toward more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems. It organizes cooperation around the dimensions of people, prosperity, and planet and includes actions related to productivity, nutrition, finance, technology, markets, public procurement, short supply chains, sustainable management of water, soils, forests and fisheries, social protection, gender equality, and productive inclusion. Its six results areas represent a portfolio of approximately 140 million dollars for 2026-2031, of which about 54 million dollars already have identified funding and 86 million dollars must be mobilized. Implementation will be jointly monitored by SRE, SADER, AMEXCID, and FAO.

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.
