MAGA Guatemala, the official account of Guatemala's Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food (Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería y Alimentación), shared updates on December 2, 2025, regarding recent initiatives aimed at supporting agricultural producers and families facing food insecurity.
In a post published at 14:30 UTC, MAGA Guatemala stated: "#MAGAcciones | En lo que va de 2025, el Fideicomiso de Apoyo Financiero para los Productores del Sector Cafetalero Guatemalteco ha otorgado más de Q13 millones en créditos, beneficiando a pequeños productores de nuestro país. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero".
An hour later, at 15:30 UTC, the ministry announced the beginning of food assistance deliveries to thousands of families: "¡Seguimos trabajando por las familias que más lo necesitan! Iniciamos con las entregas gratuitas de asistencia alimentaria a 11,434 familias que viven en situación de inseguridad alimentaria en Cubulco, #BajaVerapaz; Casillas, #SantaRosa, Casillas; y Cobán, #AltaVerapaz."
Later that day at 17:01 UTC, another update detailed additional support for communities in Huehuetenango: "#Huehuetenango | Recibimos 5,661 raciones de alimentos que pronto serán entregadas gratuitamente a hogares en situación de inseguridad alimentaria en San Mateo Ixtatán."
The Ministry of Agriculture in Guatemala oversees programs to promote rural development and food security. The financial trust referenced in the first tweet is designed to provide credit to small coffee producers who often face challenges accessing traditional financing sources. Food assistance programs are part of broader efforts by the government to address chronic malnutrition and poverty in vulnerable regions such as Baja Verapaz and Alta Verapaz.
These initiatives come amid ongoing concerns about food insecurity in rural areas of Guatemala. According to international organizations and local authorities, regions like Huehuetenango continue to experience high rates of malnutrition due to poverty and limited access to resources.
