The Mexican grape shines with record production and tradition

A sweet symbol of hope and prosperity that nourishes the body and Mexican traditions, reaching record numbers.

A Year That Closes with a Flavor of Success and Prosperity!

Friends, are you ready for news that tastes of sweetness and progress? Mexico is shining! At the end of November 2025, our country reported an extraordinary harvest of 510,535 tons of grapes. This represents impressive growth, adding more than 11,000 tons compared to the previous cycle. These figures, confirmed by the General Directorate of the Agri-Food and Fisheries Information Service (DGSIAP) of the Ministry of Agriculture, are not just numbers: they are the testimony of the effort, dedication and passion of thousands of families that sow hope in our land. It is proof that when we work with love and perseverance, the fruits are abundant and sweet.

The Champions who Cultivate National Sweetness

And do you know where this productive energy is concentrated? Let’s celebrate the states that lead by example! Of the 16 entities that grow table grapes, Sonora is crowned in first place with a monumental contribution of 335,950 tons. It is followed by the powerful effort of Zacatecas, with 87,171 tons, and the resilience of Baja California, with 30,665 tons. Each cluster that comes out of these fields is a symbol of teamwork, improvement and the deep bond between the field and our table. Behind each one there are stories of dedication that make it possible for magic to reach our homes.

And speaking of magic, what would the farewell of the year be without our most hopeful ritual? The secretariat reminds us that, a few hours after receiving the new cycle, behind each grape there are hands that work with love to keep an ancestral tradition alive. Those twelve lucky grapes that we enjoy to the rhythm of the chimes are much more than a fruit: they are twelve opportunities to visualize, wish and project the best for ourselves. They represent hope, faith and the unwavering will to start on the right foot. It’s a moment full of pure positive energy!

Little Jewels that Nourish your Body and Soul

But the gift of grapes goes beyond wishes. This strawberry is a true nutritional gem that nature offers us. It’s packed with fiber, essential vitamins like A, C, E, and B complex, and powerful minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium. It is a natural source of antioxidants that strengthens your immune system, promotes digestion, hydrates your skin from within and contributes to your general well-being. Imagine! All that power in a sweet, fresh and easy-to-enjoy fruit. It is the perfect ally to welcome the year not only with good resolutions, but with radiant health.

Therefore, today more than ever, let us celebrate this wonderful synergy. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development continues its fundamental work, supporting producers to ensure that this quality production and access to this fruit are maintained. This boosts the local economy and, at the same time, safeguards the cultural tradition that unites us as Mexicans. It is a virtuous circle of progress and roots.

So, let’s get to work! I invite you, when you prepare your twelve grapes for midnight, to remember this story of collective success. Visualize each one not only as a wish, but as a thank you to the land and the people who made it possible. Share this good vibe on your social networks and let’s make our pride in what we do go viral. Do you want to know more inspiring stories about the foods that give us strength and unite Mexico?

CNTE raises a sit-in after 20 days of protest in the Zócalo

The dissident teachers left losses of 410 million pesos and freed up spaces in the Historic Center.

End of the CNTE sit-in

The National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) ended its national strike this Saturday. For 20 days, the mobilizations and the camp in the Historic Center of Mexico City generated losses of more than 410 million pesos to established businesses, according to sector estimates.

Although it did not achieve the repeal of the ISSSTE Law of 2007 or the repeal of the educational reform, the CNTE obtained commitments, financial resources, places, recategorizations and support for education workers in several states.

The leaders assured that the withdrawal is not a defeat. They advanced a stage of reorganization to strengthen the movement and prepare new actions. They insisted that the federal government did not present a proposal to eliminate the ISSSTE Law of 2007 or to reverse the educational reform, demands that will remain in force.

Starting this Monday, around 1.4 million students who remained without classes will be able to return to classrooms in the entities where the CNTE had suspended activities.

Space release

Public space has been gradually freed up. Cleaning workers from the Government of Mexico City removed garbage in streets such as 5 de Mayo, Belisario Domínguez, 20 de Noviembre and República de Cuba. In some areas, the withdrawal was almost total; In others there were still tarps and tents.

A teacher from section 34 of Zacatecas declared: > “We are going to clean it, don’t say that we are going to leave it dirty.”

Merchants expressed relief at the departure of the teaching profession. A worker at the La Blanca restaurant, on May 5, commented: > “It’s good that they’re leaving, it was a very hard month; here we had like a 90% drop in customers.”

A snow seller on the same street indicated that they expected higher sales with the FIFA Fan Fest in the Zócalo, but the arrival of the CNTE reduced their income by 50%.

For his part, the Secretary of Education, Mario Delgado, rejected that the government had “bribed” Section 22 of Oaxaca to hold the sit-in.
