MAGA Guatemala, an official account dedicated to agricultural affairs in Guatemala, shared updates on October 21, 2025, regarding animal welfare initiatives and support for small and medium producers.
In a post published at 00:30 UTC, MAGA Guatemala stated: "En el marco de la Ley de Protección y Bienestar Animal, se realizó una mesa técnica para fortalecer la coordinación interinstitucional y armonizar los marcos de actuación nacional y regional. Más información https://t.co/SFNbtaK70A #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero". This tweet references the country's ongoing efforts to improve animal protection through legislative frameworks and interagency cooperation.
Later that day at 01:13 UTC, the account reported on participation in a cooperative forum: "Participamos en el VI Foro de Cooperativas para promover el #CréditoTobanik, el cual ayudará a pequeños y medianos productores. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/vLXKrdpqAW". The message highlights promotion of Crédito Tobanik as a financial tool intended to benefit small and medium-sized producers by providing them with access to credit.
At 05:30 UTC, MAGA Guatemala issued an advisory related to livestock health: " Si sus animales presentan heridas, es necesario que las cure de inmediato, para evitar que el #GusanoBarrenador del Ganado los afecte. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/dqOgDu2nS7". The post urges immediate treatment of wounds in animals to prevent infestation by the screwworm—a significant threat to livestock health in Central America.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food (MAGA) is responsible for developing policies related to agriculture and rural development in Guatemala. The institution has been active in promoting both animal welfare legislation and financial inclusion programs such as Crédito Tobanik for local producers.
