MAGA Guatemala, the official account of Guatemala's Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food (Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería y Alimentación), shared a series of updates on December 6, 2025, addressing topics relevant to the agricultural sector. The posts included recommendations for livestock producers during cold weather, educational content about pest and disease management, and information about expanding sustainable cattle ranching initiatives.

In a post published at 18:30 UTC on December 6, MAGA Guatemala provided advice for livestock producers in response to falling temperatures: "Ante el descenso de temperaturas, bridamos estas recomendaciones para el sector pecuario. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/loSxqXETnA".

Later that day at 20:00 UTC, the ministry introduced an educational resource regarding pest and disease management within agriculture: "¿Qué es el manejo de plagas y enfermedades? Descúbralo en el #DiccionarioAgrícola #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/Xxugk7clL4".

At 21:30 UTC on the same day, MAGA Guatemala announced plans to expand its Model of Deforestation-Free and Low-Emission Cattle Ranching for 2026. The tweet stated: "#Top3 | El Modelo de Ganadería sin Deforestación y de Bajas Emisiones ampliará la cobertura para el 2026, incorporando nuevos productores y fortaleciendo el equipo técnico mediante capacitación especializada. Más detalles https://t.co/y8vbd8KISA #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero".

The Ministry of Agriculture has been actively promoting sustainable practices in recent years as part of national efforts to reduce deforestation linked to cattle ranching and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural activities. These measures align with broader environmental policies aimed at balancing economic development with conservation goals in Guatemala.
