Mexico has announced a new biotech corn decree that would ban genetically modified white corn while phasing out uses for livestock feed.
Andy Jobman is the Nebraska Corn Growers Association president and a producer of white corn. “That’s a very bold move and quite frankly, one that is worst case scenario for the United States.”
Mexico’s government says it will revoke authorizations and permits to import, produce, distribute and use of the herbicide glyphosate and GM corn, but may grant some use until a substitute is achieved for feed and industrial use.
