Mexico Bilateral Appointment
Mexico Proposal
The selected supply chains ̶ corn, beans, rice, and milk ̶ are essential to strengthening the nation’s food sovereignty. Specific goals and actions have been established for each chain by 2030, including increases in local productions, the installation of value-added processing plants, and the development of storage and collection facilities. The strategy also encompasses measures to improve production and strengthen producers' capacities through agroecological technical assistance models.
The estimated cost of these investments for the 2025-2030 period is $1.53 billion USD, benefiting more than 464,000 small and medium-sized producers and over 6.3 million indirectly, increasing their income by nearly 50%, and providing nutritious, high-quality products to vulnerable communities throughout the country.

Corn Value Chain
Corn cultivation in Mexico is a symbol of national identity and a foundation of its population's diet. Annually, over two agricultural cycles, the country produces an average of 22.7 million tons, primarily for human consumption, accounting for just over 80%. The persistent dry conditions of the past two years have disrupted this balance, underscoring the fragility of the production-to-human consumption ratio, which dropped from 100% to 98%.This scenario presents diverse investment opportunities. The promotion of crop areas with agroecological potential in the Central and South-Southeast regions through the improvement of technological packages and technical assistance to increase production by 3.7 million tons, as well as the construction of collection and storage infrastructure for post-harvest handling and marketing of these, represent an approximate investment of 1.265 billion dollars for the period 2025-2030, benefiting 547,000 small and medium-sized producers. The strategy is complemented by an investment in the construction of two plants to produce corn flour for social supplies, with an investment of $20 million, benefiting 6.3 million people.

Bean Value Chain
Bean cultivation in Mexico is also integral to the nation's identity and serves as a dietary mainstay. The country produces approximately 988,000 tons annually, closely aligning with its consumption rate of 1.08 million tons.This near-equilibrium reflects a strong degree of self-sufficiency, although it has experienced periods of volatility and a decline of up to 35% in recent years, primarily attributed to drought conditions in northern regions. Accordingly, the proposed strategy seeks to promote production in lower-risk areas with high agroecological potential, targeting a 100% increase in yields while ensuring a stable production-to-consumption ratio in the South-Southeast region.
Investments in crop areas with strong agroecological potential in the Midwest, Northwest, and South-Southeast aim to double yields and boost production by 470,000 tons using advanced technologies and technical support. This $211 million USD initiative will benefit 74,500 small and medium producers, raise incomes by 50%, and create 109,000 jobs. Additionally, $7.4 million will fund two new bean-processing and value-added plants for social supply.
Rice Value Chain
Rice production in Mexico now covers less than 30% of national demand, with annual output averaging 161,000 tons versus consumption exceeding 900,000 tons. Once self-sufficient, the country’s decline is due to climate change and economic policy shifts. To address this, a $54 million USD strategy will target selected areas in Campeche and Nayarit, aiming to double yields and add 229,000 tons through improved technology, adapted seeds, efficient water use, and technical support—directly benefiting 5,700 small and medium producers.

Milk Value Chain
Mexico produces 13 billion liters of milk annually, covering 78% of domestic consumption. Social supply programs currently reach 6.3 million people—60% women—with a target of over 10 million by 2030. Investment options include boosting annual production by 2 billion liters (a 15% increase), expanding the collection network from 14 to 20 states by adding 30 centers ($13.2M USD), building a pasteurization plant in Campeche (330,000 liters/day) and a drying plant in Michoacán (600,000 liters/day), for a total investment of $33,68 million. These initiatives will expand Liconsa’s supply network, increase the number of producers from 2,900 to 5,000, double annual volume to 1.3 billion liters, and grow distribution to 20,000 dairy shops nationwide.
