Mexico's new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has unveiled a bold agriculture policy aimed at reverting the country's food production and distribution systems back to the 1980s model, with a strong emphasis on increasing the production of staple foods like beans and corn. This initiative seeks to ensure 'food sovereignty' by rejuvenating dilapidated government stores, providing stable prices for corn farmers, and slashing tortilla prices by 10%. To boost bean consumption, which has seen a significant decline, the government plans to increase production by 30% over the next six years and establish research centers to distribute high-yield seeds. The policy also includes strategies to support instant coffee and cocoa production. Despite these plans countering current market trends, she emphasizes the importance of self-sufficiency and the nutritional benefits of beans.
