Today, U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai announced the United States has requested dispute settlement consultations with Mexico under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). These consultations highlight certain Mexican measures concerning products of agricultural biotechnology, including the importation of genetically modified (GM) corn for human consumption.

“The Nebraska Corn Growers Association is pleased with the decision from the USTR to file a dispute consultation under the USMCA regarding Mexico’s decree to ban GM corn and not follow science,” said Chris Grams, President of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association. “While filing a formal dispute has taken time to get to, this is the next step in ensuring our corn markets remain open.”
