MAGA Guatemala, the official Twitter account for the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food of Guatemala, posted a series of updates on November 7, 2025.

In a message shared at 15:17 UTC, MAGA Guatemala expressed support for those affected by a recent bereavement: "Expresamos nuestras condolencias por tan lamentable pérdida.
Enviamos nuestro apoyo en estos momentos de dificultad." (November 7, 2025).
Shortly after, at 15:25 UTC, the account reported on an official engagement involving Mayra Motta, Vice Minister of Rural Economic Development (VISAR). The tweet stated: "La viceministra del #VISAR, Mayra Motta participa en la inauguración del Tercer Congreso Interuniversitario de Biotecnología, en pro de la seguridad alimentaria, la productividad agrícola y la sostenibilidad ambiental de la población." (November 7, 2025).
A subsequent post from the same time highlighted Motta's remarks regarding the importance of the event: "La viceministra destacó que este evento 'representa una oportunidad invaluable para fortalecer la formación académica, la investigación y la aplicación práctica de la biotecnología moderna en los distintos sectores productivos del país'."
