# Monsanto sees prolonged delay on GMO corn permits in Mexico

> Monsanto's regional director said a ban on planting GMO corn in Mexico will likely last for years. A Mexican court last week upheld a 2013 ruling that halted even pilot plots after an environmental legal challenge. Mexico's yellow corn imports are expected to rise by over a fifth next season from about 15 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

The GMO planting ban keeps Mexico reliant on US yellow corn imports for livestock feed, and expected higher import volumes support US corn demand.
