MAGA Guatemala, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food in Guatemala, issued several public updates on November 7, 2025, through its official Twitter account. The posts focused on ongoing government programs related to fertilizer distribution, food aid in Quiché, and current agroclimatic conditions.
In a tweet published at 17:30 UTC on November 7, MAGA Guatemala 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 (PNC).
#ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/erCbnhIMQT". The ministry advised recipients not to make any payments during the fertilizer delivery process and urged them to report any requests for money to the provided phone numbers.
Later that day at 18:30 UTC, MAGA Guatemala reported progress in food assistance efforts in the department of Quiché. The tweet read: "#Quiché | En San Miguel Uspantán se recibieron 11,331 raciones de alimentos que serán entregadas gratuitamente a familias en situación de inseguridad alimentaria.
#ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/W3MwKGCg75". According to this update, over eleven thousand food rations arrived in San Miguel Uspantán for free distribution to families facing food insecurity.
At 19:00 UTC on the same day, MAGA Guatemala addressed weather conditions affecting agricultural activities. The post stated: "Continúa la influencia de un sistema de alta presión influye en el país, generando descenso de temperaturas. Conozca más detalles en el análisis agroclimático correspondiente a este viernes 7 de noviembre.
#ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/rXPCydKBaC". The ministry noted that a high-pressure system continued to impact the country with lower temperatures and referred followers to their agroclimatic analysis for further information.
MAGA Guatemala is responsible for implementing policies related to agriculture and rural development across the country. Its initiatives include distributing fertilizers as part of support programs for farmers and providing emergency food aid during periods of heightened need or crisis situations such as those caused by climate events or economic hardship.
The warnings against unauthorized payments during fertilizer delivery reflect ongoing concerns about corruption or fraud within social benefit programs in Guatemala. Reporting mechanisms like those mentioned are intended to increase transparency and protect beneficiaries from exploitation.
The mention of an agroclimatic analysis aligns with regular updates provided by Guatemalan authorities regarding weather patterns that can affect crop yields and rural livelihoods.
