2026AGN

Under Government Agreement 256-2025 (published 22 December 2025, in force from 1 January 2026), the agricultural minimum wage is Q3,791.20 a month in circumscription CE1 (the department of Guatemala) and Q3,625.89 in CE2 (the rest of the country), plus the mandatory incentive bonus of Q250 a month (Decree 78-89, with the amount set by Decree 37-2001). The percentage adjustment against 2025 does not appear in the source and must be calculated against AG 264-2024. The minimum is monthly, not per day worked: piece-rate pay at harvest must be reconciled with the equivalent daily minimum. Prensa Libre published a 2026 guide for calculating benefits (Christmas bonus, bono 14, holidays, IGSS social security, severance) and the total cost per job.
