Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, kindergarten parents in Acapulco, Guerrero state, Mexico held peaceful protests occupying local education office buildings demanding teacher assignments. Currently classified as a low-level regional demonstration with no direct supply-chain disruptions reported.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Acapulco port operations: No direct impact to date, however Acapulco is a major port city on Mexico's Pacific coast with potential logistics operational risks if protests spread
• Guerrero state agricultural production: The region is a major producer of tropical agricultural products including coconuts and mangoes; if educational sector grievances expand into broader social protests, potential indirect impacts on agricultural labor and distribution
• Tourism industry-related logistics: Acapulco tourism-related supply chains (hotels, food and beverage distribution, etc.) currently operating normally, but minor impacts on service industry logistics expected if protests continue

3. Watch points

• Protest expansion: Need to track whether educational issues combine with other social issues to develop into large-scale protests
• Acapulco port and major road conditions: Monitor operational normalcy of logistics infrastructure within Guerrero state and occurrence of traffic restriction measures
