> A Genetic Literacy Project repost of an Agri-Pulse commentary by Daren Bakst asks whether the Biden administration can challenge Mexico's ban on glyphosate and GMO corn. The piece notes Mexico is the top export market for U.S. corn, over 90% of which is genetically engineered.

## Why it matters

The commentary highlights the risk to U.S. corn export demand if Mexico's ban is enforced, but it reports no new government action that moves prices.
