The Government of Claudia Sheinbaum reported that “satisfactorily approached the United States measures against the barenting worm and thus contain and eradicate” together “the outbreak of this insect.
“Today I had an excellent talk with the United States Secretary of Agriculture, Mrs. Brooke Rollins. The measures that are of interest to both countries were satisfactorily addressed to continue working together to contain and eradicate the boreride worm of the cattle,” said the Secretary of Agriculture, Julio Berdegué, in his account in Network X.
Previously, Rollins announced that the United States and Mexico had reached a “good resolution” on this matter, although it did not give details of the agreement.
The agreement occurs after Saturday, the US Secretary of Agriculture announced the possibility of stopping Mexican cattle imports due to the bullish worm outbreak before Mexico’s refusal to allow US air operations to combat the insect.

In addition, he stressed that the Mexican government is acting comprehensively against the plague, with measures on the southern border, where it was initially detected.
In November, the United States had already temporarily suspended Mexican cattle imports due to the presence of this plague, which recently caused the death of a 77 -year -old woman in Chiapas, due to myiasis caused by this insect.
In the midst of this context, the National Agricultural Council emphasized in its note that an eventual closing of exports would have serious consequences for the Mexican rural economy, as well as for the meat supply chain in the United States, which would affect consumer prices and market stability.
“We trust that, through technical and diplomatic coordination, we will continue to advance in the protection of animal health, the well -being of the producers and the continuity of the trade,” said the agency.
