No longer a threat? ๐ค
Jun 01, 2023๐บ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ According to Mexico's agriculture minister, the conflicts with the US over the ban of genetically modified (GM) corn are no longer a worry. That's because the country published a new decree banning GM corn for human consumption only, but allowing it for livestock feed (which makes up most of our exports, anyway).
- The US and Mexico have been at odds on the issue since the latter published a decree that appeared to ban all GM corn imports, which make up a multibillion-dollar trade between the two countries (refresh your memory of the fact here). However, they say their plans are in compliance with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
