MAGA Guatemala, an official account focused on agricultural initiatives in Guatemala, published a series of updates on November 4, 2025, highlighting ongoing projects and international participation.

In a post from the morning of November 4, MAGA Guatemala announced support for rural producers: "#Petén | Beneficiamos a pequeñas productoras rurales con la entrega de lechones, con el propósito de impulsar la productividad pecuaria y mejorar la calidad genética del hato porcino local. Más información https://t.co/UBH7iRPfJ8 #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero". This message outlines the delivery of piglets to small-scale rural producers in Petén, aiming to boost livestock productivity and enhance genetic quality among local pig herds.

Later that day, the organization shared another update regarding beekeeping activities: "#MAGAcciones | Acompañamos y apoyamos el proceso de instalación de bases para colmenas, compartiendo conocimientos esenciales para su correcto manejo y fortaleciendo las capacidades de los participantes. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/9Kuh3tOlN5". The tweet highlights technical support and training provided for installing beehive bases and emphasizes knowledge-sharing to strengthen participant skills.

In the afternoon, MAGA Guatemala reported on its leadership’s engagement at an international event: "La ministra @MariaF_Rivera participa en la Vigésima Tercera Reunión Ordinaria de la Junta Interamericana de Agricultura (JIA), en el marco de la Conferencia de Ministros de Agricultura de las Américas 2025, que se celebra en Brasil. https://t.co/Ipc3UKgO2R". This message notes Minister María F. Rivera's attendance at the Twenty-Third Regular Meeting of the Inter-American Board of Agriculture (IABA) during the Conference of Ministers of Agriculture of the Americas in Brazil.

These updates reflect MAGA Guatemala’s continued focus on supporting rural agricultural development through resource distribution and technical assistance. The involvement in regional ministerial meetings also demonstrates its commitment to engaging with broader policy discussions affecting agriculture in Latin America.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food (MAGA) is responsible for formulating and implementing policies aimed at promoting sustainable agricultural development in Guatemala. Through initiatives like those mentioned above, MAGA seeks to improve food security and increase productivity among smallholder farmers across the country.
