# Farmers in Reynosa blocking access to Pharr bridge as part of national strike

> Farmers in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico, are blocking Highway 2 near the Pharr International Bridge and other roads in a protest over falling profitability against cheaper grain imports. They want federal aid for sorghum, corn and soy operations and say the blockades will continue until further notice.

## Why it matters

Blockades at the Pharr crossing, which handles a large share of Mexico-US produce trade, can delay cross-border feed and produce shipments, while the protest signals pressure on Mexican grain prices and possible federal aid policy.
