U.S. to Invoke USMCA Agreement Over Potential Ban on GM Corn by Mexico

 10/05/2022

Mexico is a significant buyer of U.S. corn importing 16.4 million metric tons during the 2021-22 crop year, up ten precent from the previous market year.  According to news reports, Mexico intends banning GMO corn for human consumption in 2024 and will place a restriction on the use of glyphosate.  The intent of Mexico and the extent of action against GMO cultivars is unclear even among grain traders and importers in Mexico.

 

The U.S. Trade Representative has initiated discussions at the level of the USMCA to establish a dispute settlement case against Mexico with regard to a proposed ban on GMO corn and related topics of contention.
