IARN — In 2024, Mexico plans to halt all imports of GMO corn. This move has farmers and Ag groups concerned over what we can expect from our second-most important trade partner and close neighbor. The prices of non-GMO corn are higher and could affect the costs for consumers who are using corn for several goods, including animal feed. This could be a bigger problem for lower-income end-users.
Could it also be a violation of the USMCA trade deal?
