Mexico Reopens Beef Exports to the United States via Sonora State Following Sanitary Protocols

Mexico has officially resumed the export of cattle on hoof to the United States, beginning with the northern state of Sonora. The administration announced that the reopening follows a period of restriction caused by a lice infestation that affected both countries. To ensure sanitary standards, the administration announced that Mexico will maintain full traceability of each animal from birth to delivery. The process began in Agua Prieta, where hundreds of cows were inspected by both Mexican and U.S. authorities. The administration announced that exports will start at 700 heads per day, gradually increasing to 1,300. This phased approach aims to guarantee the rigorous standards required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The administration announced that the reopening is a result of coordinated efforts between the Mexican government, U.S. authorities, and livestock organizations. This move is expected to provide economic stability for Mexican ranchers and restore a critical market for the beef industry.
