Mexico has officially reversed its ban on genetically edited and modified corn imports.
It comes after the U.S. successfully argued the measure violates its commitments under a North American free trade deal, according to AgriPulse.

President Claudia Sheinbaum continues to push for limits on GM corn production within Mexico.
