MAGA Guatemala, an official account focused on agricultural development in the country, used its social media platform on October 31, 2025, to highlight several initiatives and recommendations related to food security and nutrition.
In recognition of International Rice Day, MAGA Guatemala posted: "En el Día Internacional del Arroz, reconocemos el trabajo de los agricultores que cultivan este grano esencial para la alimentación de los guatemaltecos, y así mismo impulsan el desarrollo rural y fortalecen la seguridad alimentaria del país. https://t.co/1LI8S1WLej" (October 31, 2025). The post acknowledges the contributions of rice farmers to both rural development and national food security.
Later the same day, the account highlighted efforts in Zacapa through inter-institutional collaboration: "#Zacapa |A través de la Mesa Técnica Departamental Interinstitucional de Alimentación Escolar, fortalecemos acciones que garantizan alimentos inocuos y nutritivos para estudiantes. Más detalles https://t.co/VuoUmcv3GA #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero" (October 31, 2025). This message underscores ongoing measures to ensure safe and nutritious food for students in the region via coordinated departmental technical committees.
Additionally, MAGA Guatemala promoted healthy eating habits by recommending chard as part of daily diets: "Incorporar la acelga a su dieta diaria puede contribuir a mejorar la salud, aportar energía y fortalecer su bienestar. Conozca aquí sus beneficios. https://t.co/RnhMyTOeYa" (October 31, 2025).
Guatemala’s Ministry of Agriculture has prioritized programs that promote food security and support rural producers as part of its national development agenda. Initiatives such as school feeding programs are designed to provide safe and nutritious meals to children while supporting local agriculture.
