Mexico’s decision to ban the cultivation and use of genetically modified corn for human consumption by 2024 is a big concern for US corn farmers.
Aledo, Illinois farmer Kate Danner says that US corn exports could take a big hit.
“The US is 95% of their corn imports and it is GMO, so that’s kind of a concern about how the Mexican government wants to go about that policy and also how that really works with USMCA (US, Mexico, Canada Agreement).”
US Grains Council CEO Ryan LeGrand tells Brownfield it is still unclear if the ban includes corn for livestock feed.
