SENASICA, the Mexican analog of USDA-APHIS, will operate with a reduced budget during the coming fiscal year.  The Government of Mexico has successively reduced the budget for the Agency from seven billion pesos ($420 million) in 2018 to five billion ($300 million) in 2022 with a further reduction in 2023.

It is evident that with restricted resources, SENASICA will not be able to deploy as many inspectors and services will obviously be curtailed. This is an undesirable situation with the constant risk of HPAI.
