MAGA Guatemala, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food of Guatemala, shared a series of public announcements on its official Twitter account in early November 2025. The posts addressed issues related to fertilizer distribution, agricultural advancements, and animal health.
On November 5, 2025, MAGA Guatemala warned beneficiaries not to make any payments during the fertilizer distribution process. The ministry stated: "Durante el proceso de entrega de fertilizante no realice ningún pago. Si alguien le solicita dinero, denúncielo de inmediato al 1557 (MAGA) o al 110 (@PNCdeGuatemala)."
Later that day, the ministry highlighted its participation in an international conference. According to their post from November 5: "La ministra @MariaF_Rivera presentó en la Conferencia de Ministros de Agricultura de las Américas 2025, los avances del país en bioeconomía, sanidad agropecuaria y agricultura digital."
On November 6, MAGA Guatemala addressed concerns about falling temperatures and their impact on animal health. The tweet read: "El descenso de temperatura puede causarles enfermedades respiratorias y otros padecimientos a los animales, para evitarlo, les brindamos estas recomendaciones."
The warnings regarding fertilizer distribution come as part of efforts by Guatemalan authorities to prevent corruption and fraud in government programs. In recent years, similar advisories have been issued to protect farmers from scams involving false requests for payment during state-run agricultural assistance initiatives.
Guatemala's focus on bioeconomy and digital agriculture aligns with regional trends emphasizing sustainable practices and technological innovation within Latin American agricultural sectors.
Animal welfare guidance provided by MAGA is consistent with ongoing campaigns to mitigate the effects of seasonal weather changes on livestock health throughout Central America.
