Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, a peaceful protest by parents occurred in Chocamán, Veracruz state, Mexico, protesting inappropriate conduct by a teacher. As a low-intensity regional demonstration, direct supply-chain disruptions are not anticipated, but monitoring is needed as a signal of regional community instability.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Regional logistics impact - Veracruz state is a major port region along the Gulf of Mexico coast, with potential for temporary delays in regional road traffic
• Agricultural sector potential risk - Veracruz is a major agricultural production region for sugar, vanilla, coffee and other crops, raising concerns about agricultural logistics impact if regional unrest spreads
• Manufacturing indirect impact - Considering connectivity with Gulf of Mexico coastal petrochemical complexes, potential for labor supply disruptions if regional social instability spreads

3) Watch points

• Protest spread - Need to track the possibility of education-related issues spreading to other areas within Veracruz state
• Regional transportation network status - Need to monitor normalization of road traffic in Chocamán and surrounding areas and check logistics transportation schedules
