MAGA Guatemala, an organization involved in the agricultural sector of Guatemala, posted a series of updates on October 22, 2025, regarding initiatives and recommendations for local producers.
In its first post at midnight, MAGA Guatemala announced, "Se realiza taller para fortalecer la prevención y control del Gusano Barrenador. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero" (October 22, 2025).
Later that morning at 1:00 a.m., the organization addressed the approaching dry and cold season by sharing advice for those in agriculture: "#ClimaGT | Frente a la proximidad del inicio de la temporada seca y fría, compartimos las siguientes recomendaciones dirigidas a productores del país para reducir riesgos en la actividad agropecuaria. Más detalles https://t.co/AH7l2ezfvp #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero" (October 22, 2025).
An additional update was posted at 2:00 a.m., highlighting current weather patterns and offering further guidance: "De acuerdo con el análisis agrometeorológico se prevén algunas lluvias, por lo que brindamos las siguientes recomendaciones. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/NK8SwFvzsg" (October 22, 2025).
These communications come as Guatemalan authorities continue efforts to support agricultural producers through technical assistance and pest management workshops. The Gusano Barrenador is known to pose significant risks to livestock and crops in Central America; government agencies regularly organize training sessions aimed at controlling its spread. The transition from rainy to dry seasons often brings challenges for farmers in Guatemala due to shifting weather conditions that can impact crop yields and livestock health.
