The secretaries of agriculture for the U.S. and Mexico are clarifying what Mexico’s impending ban on GMO corn means for American farmers.
Mexico announced plans earlier this year to ban the cultivation of genetically modified corn for human consumption by 2024. Mexican Ag Minister Victor Villalobos, during a visit to a farm in central Iowa Wednesday, says his country’s policy calls for the end of transgenic corn production in Mexican territory.
“But we are not limiting importation of GMO corn from the United States.”
