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.
Last December, a dispute resolution panel sided with the U.S., granting Mexico 45 days to comply or face potential tariffs. The move eliminates a significant trade barrier, as the U.S. is Mexico’s largest corn supplier.
President Claudia Sheinbaum continues to push for limits on GM corn production within Mexico.
