Sheinbaum announces a livestock program in Sonora with an investment of 831 million pesos.

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo presented a comprehensive program in Sonora to strengthen livestock farming , with an initial investment of 831 million pesos . This plan aims to guarantee the production and export of Mexican livestock , reducing dependence on the U.S. market.

The initiative was designed in conjunction with Governor Alfonso Durazo Montaño and the state's livestock associations . The program includes the delivery of bovine stallions , a credit fund for fattening , and the creation of a Comprehensive Livestock Center focused on both the domestic and export markets.

Sheinbaum Pardo explained that the resources are already available and that the first deliveries will begin before the end of September. The first phase will focus on Sonora, Coahuila, and Durango , while the second will include Chihuahua and Tamaulipas . The goal is to consolidate Mexico as a producer and exporter of high-quality meat , highlighting the importance of the state of Sonora in this area.

The program seeks to modernize and adapt livestock production to meet international standards, following years of technical restrictions at the border that limited the export of Mexican livestock.

During her address, the president recalled the recent visit of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio , who recognized Mexico's historical and cultural richness . Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico is a free, independent, and sovereign country, highlighting the importance of empowering people and understanding their history within the framework of the national celebrations.

On the second day of her national Accountability Tour , Sheinbaum emphasized that her administration is a "territorial government," with a presence in every state in the country. In Sonora, 1,070,060 people receive direct federal benefits , with an annual investment of 20 billion pesos .

The president also announced specific support, such as benefits for women ages 60 to 64 , as well as infrastructure projects, including:

• Modernization of the Ciudad Obregón and Guaymas airports .
• Construction of 20,000 homes for non-Infonavit beneficiaries and 35,000 more with loans from the institute.
• Rehabilitation of hospitals and modernization of irrigation districts.
• Construction of 46 Childcare Centers (Cecis) to guarantee care for minors.

Governor Alfonso Durazo Montaño emphasized that the new livestock program positions Sonora as a national leader in meat production and exports. He also highlighted that Sheinbaum maintains the highest approval rating in the country's history , with 82 percent in Sonora, and that her leadership represents a triumph for Mexican women .

Durazo emphasized that Mexico enjoys political and economic stability and freedom of debate , and asserted that Sonora's support for the president is a reflection of the population's confidence in her administration.

Around 15,000 people gathered at the Hermosillo Multipurpose Center to witness Sheinbaum's first state of the nation's press conference in Sonora. The president was greeted with applause and expressions of gratitude, while those in attendance chanted: "President, President! Welcome, President, always welcome!"

This act symbolized the president's direct connection with the citizens , reinforcing her approach to governing closely with the territories and their needs.

The livestock program announced by Claudia Sheinbaum represents a significant boost to meat production and exports in Sonora and the north of the country. The investment of 831 million pesos , along with support from the state government and livestock associations, seeks to modernize livestock farming, guarantee international competitiveness, and improve the local economy.

Furthermore, the program's presentation at an event with broad citizen participation and the inclusion of various social and infrastructure projects reflect the administration's intention to strengthen the state's comprehensive development by combining economic growth, social well-being, and cultural strengthening.
