Mexico issued a decree stating it will revoke and refrain from granting permits for the release of genetically modified corn seeds into the environment, and mandated the phase-out of GMO corn imports by 2024. Mexico's farm lobby criticized the ban, while organic growers welcomed it.
The decree was issued on a Thursday evening, reported as of January 2.
A mandated phase-out of GMO corn imports threatens a major export market for US corn and is bearish for CORN. Opposition from Mexican farm groups suggests the rules could be softened, which limits the price impact.
