# Mexico issues revised decree on GMO corn | National | farmweeknow.com

> Mexico's government issued a revised decree on Monday banning glyphosate and GM white corn for human food, while allowing transgenic yellow corn for feed and industrial use. The decree sets no new deadline and says it does not affect trade. The US supplies nearly all of Mexico's feed corn.

## Why it matters
