During a U.S. congressional hearing that took place on Feb. 1 to address the new 2023 Farm Bill, four legislators identified Mexico’s proposed ban on GMO crops as a direct threat to U.S. corn exports.
Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), John Thune (R-S.D.), and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) collectively voiced concerns over the significant economic impact of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s decree to abolish GMO corn imports by 2024.
