Tension in Meoqui: Dairy Farmers Resume Blockades After Months of Broken Promises
Source: dairynews.today
Dairy farmers in Meoqui have taken to blocking the highway to Delicias, protesting the unfulfilled promises of federal support which have been pending since January.
The patience of Meoqui's dairy farmers has run its course. On the morning of April 29, 2025, they blocked the highway to Delicias at the Meoqui junction, venting their frustration over the federal authorities' failure to deliver on promised support since January. Despite earlier negotiations with representatives from the Secretariat of the Interior, Liconsa's resources remain undelivered.
This impasse has led the disgruntled farmers to once again take drastic measures, halting traffic and creating long lines of trucks. Demonstrators have warned that the blockade will persist until concrete actions are taken by the government. Those traveling to Meoqui are advised to seek alternate routes, such as using the underpass at the Camargo Technological University. The protest shines a light on broader issues regarding federal agricultural policy implementation, raising questions about accountability and the true extent of support promised to Mexico's vital dairy sector.
