Mexico’s Fertilizers for Well-Being Reaches 89% of Its 2026 Goal; More Than 1,920,000 Producers Benefited

Mexico City. With a “historic advance” in the delivery of support, the Fertilizers for Well-Being program reached 89 percent of its national goal for 2026 during the first half of the year, benefiting more than 1,920,000 small- and medium-scale producers.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Agriculture) detailed that, as of the cutoff of the first week of July, the program has mobilized nearly 970,000 tons of inputs —equivalent to 92 percent of supply— to the Distribution Centers (CEDA), where more than 900,000 tons were delivered directly to farmers, that is, 86 percent of the slightly more than one million projected for the current year.
In this way, it stated, a surface area exceeding 3 million hectares of strategic crops at the national level has been covered, which amounted to 86 percent of the more than 3.5 million hectares set as the goal throughout 2026.
The federal agency highlighted that Coahuila is the first state to reach the goal of serving 100 percent of the small- and medium-scale farmers registered in the program’s rolls. It is followed by the states of Morelos, with more than 98 percent, and Baja California Sur, Baja California, and Nuevo León, with more than 97 percent of the progress in free distribution without intermediaries.
It indicated that in regions of high agricultural density such as Guerrero, deliveries exceed 89 percent progress, where more than 154,000 rural women are also supported.
Sader noted that the result of this strategy promoted by the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum represents one of the highest levels of coverage recorded by the program in that period.
This is due to the deployment of 1,033 CEDA and the technical and administrative support of the staff of the AGRICULTURE Representation Offices, the Rural Development Support Centers (CADER), and the Rural Development Districts (DDR) in the 32 states of the Republic.
In addition, to verify registration in the rolls and check the location of the CEDA, Sader enabled the official portal https://bit.ly/3SLU6Xv.
