Three major transport organizations, CANAPAT, AMTAC, and AMOTAC, have distanced themselves from a national transport strike planned for October 26 by Canacar, according to SDPnoticias.com. These groups' withdrawal may reduce the strike's impact, as they represent a significant portion of the transport sector. The divergence among transport associations indicates differing views on the strike's necessity and potential effectiveness.

Durango cattle exporters lose $300M in US market

Durango cattle producers have lost over $300 million due to a suspension of exports to the United States, as reported by La Jornada. The halt, caused by a screwworm infestation, has prevented the sale of approximately 300,000 cattle heads in 2025 and 2026. The Union Ganadera Regional (UGR) highlighted the significant financial impact on local producers, who rely heavily on the US market for their exports.
