Agricultural leaders from Sonora’s Yaqui and Mayo valleys told federal lawmakers that as much as 50% of the region’s 320,000 hectares could go unplanted this season. They attributed the risk, despite adequate reservoir water, to insufficient federal support and unfavorable agricultural policies, warning that lower output and rising imports threaten food sovereignty.
Reduced planting could tighten Mexican wheat supply and increase reliance on imports, supporting prices and import demand. The report concerns a substantial regional area, though the eventual production impact is not yet confirmed.
