# Public News Service | Mexico’s GM Corn Ban Opens Market for American Farmers | Farm Action

> Farm Action argues Mexico's ban on US genetically modified corn could open a niche market for non-GM American corn, with premiums of up to 50 cents per bushel, or 75 cents in Iowa. Mexico imported about $18.7 billion of US corn, roughly 40% of US corn exports, according to USDA data cited.

## Why it matters

Mexico's roughly 40% share of US corn exports makes its GM policy a major demand factor, and a shift toward non-GM corn could reshape US export flows. The article is advocacy commentary and does not announce a policy change.
