Corn growers across the nation are calling on the administration to initiate a dispute settlement under the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement after Mexico’s latest decree to ban some U.S. imports of biotech corn.
Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association Executive Director Tadd Nicholson says the U.S. has a case in the dispute settlement despite there not being specific language addressing the biotech issue in the trade agreement.
“It says we’re going to use science to determine some of the rulings like approvals of new GMO traits, those types of things that they’d be willing to import,” he says.
