# After Mexican GM corn import ban, American farmers ask: What now? - High Plains Journal

> Mexico's high court dismissed challenges from Mexican farm groups to a presidential decree banning GM corn imports over a three-year phase-out. The decree still has to be turned into regulations, and the U.S. has argued the measures violate the USMCA. Mexico was the largest U.S. feed corn export destination, with imports valued at $2.7 billion in 2019.
