MAGA Guatemala, a government agency focused on agricultural development and food security, reported several initiatives through its official Twitter account on November 5, 2025. The posts detailed efforts to support families and educational centers across various regions of Guatemala.
In the first post at 19:30 UTC, MAGA Guatemala announced the start of free food ration deliveries under the Alimentos por Acciones (APA) program. According to the tweet: "Hemos iniciado con las entregas gratuitas de raciones alimentarias a través del programa Alimentos por Acciones (APA), beneficiando a 5,243 familias en Cuilapa, #SantaRosa; Amatitlán, #Guatemala; Santa Lucía La Reforma, #Totonicapán; Santo Tomás La Unión, #Suchitepequez; y https://t.co/8AzoPckD9X".
Later that evening at 21:04 UTC, another update highlighted the nutritional benefits expected from a new pilot plan promoting tilapia cultivation. The post stated: "Sandra Recinos, nutricionista, explica el beneficio que obtendrán familias con el Plan Piloto de Fomento del Cultivo de Tilapia. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/u6nFZbkLPV".
The third tweet at 21:30 UTC described an educational initiative in Izabal. MAGA Guatemala wrote: "#Izabal | Entregamos sets de jardinería y semillas de rábano a 26 centros educativos de Livingston, y se capacito sobre tipos de huertos, ubicación, siembra y cuidados. Con estas acciones, los estudiantes aprenden agricultura, alimentación saludable y cuidado del medio ambiente. https://t.co/jDv5kC1Gx1".
These actions are part of ongoing government programs designed to improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture in rural areas of Guatemala. The APA program aims to address food insecurity by providing essential supplies to vulnerable families. Similarly, initiatives like school gardening projects and pilot aquaculture plans are intended to enhance local capacity for food production and environmental stewardship.
