MAGA Guatemala reports on U.S. tariff talks, pest prevention actions, and weather updates

MAGA Guatemala, an organization involved in agricultural affairs in Guatemala, posted several updates on December 1, 2025, concerning trade negotiations, animal health initiatives, and weather forecasts affecting the country's agriculture sector.

In a tweet published at 02:00 UTC on December 1, MAGA Guatemala stated: "Participamos en una reunión de alto nivel con el Ministerio de Economía para la negociación de aranceles con Estados Unidos y garantizar el comercio seguro de productos agrícolas guatemaltecos. Más detalles https://t.co/feh32pbEnf #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero". The message indicates the organization's participation in high-level meetings with the Ministry of Economy to discuss tariff negotiations with the United States and ensure secure trade for Guatemalan agricultural products.

Later that day, at 12:00 UTC, MAGA Guatemala shared information about preventive actions against livestock pests: "#Sololá | Se realizó a jornada profiláctica y preventiva contra el #GusanoBarrenador, con el objetivo de mejorar la salud del hato pecuario. Más información https://t.co/JTFUbhCp1I #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero". This tweet refers to efforts conducted in Sololá aimed at controlling the screwworm pest to improve herd health.

At 15:23 UTC on December 1, MAGA Guatemala addressed weather conditions for the northern region of the country: "#ClimaGT | Para este lunes 1 de diciembre, se presentará nubosidad dispersa, alternando con nublados parciales en la región norte. Conozca a continuación las recomendaciones agrícolas. https://t.co/KfAtLRQlCB". The update included a forecast of scattered clouds alternating with partial cloudiness and provided agricultural recommendations.

These activities reflect ongoing governmental and organizational initiatives in Guatemala focused on strengthening agricultural trade relationships—particularly with the United States—combating livestock pests such as the screwworm (gusano barrenador), and providing timely weather information to farmers. Such measures are part of broader efforts by Guatemalan authorities and agencies like MAGA to support rural development and ensure food security through improved trade frameworks and enhanced agricultural practices.
