Former USDA trade undersecretary discusses Mexico’s proposed corn ban

Mexico’s proposed ban on biotech corn continues to be in the limelight.

National Association of State Departments of Agriculture CEO Ted McKinney says he believes the issue will be resolved before a ban is imposed.  

“It’s not like you can just stop sourcing from the U.S. and go get non-GM somewhere else. With the volumes we ship to Mexico, we would have to scale up massively with new, non-GM seed to fulfill their poultry, pork, beef, and dairy needs.
