President of the nation announces the ban on the cultivation of transgenic corn
Mexico
Dec 23, 2024
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo announced that in February 2025, Congress will legislate on the prohibition of planting genetically modified corn in national territory with the aim of protecting the country's biodiversity, in response to the resolution of the panel of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC) on measures related to genetically modified corn.
“The Mexican Congress, here with the help of the senators and deputies, we are going to reverse this resolution, because very soon, in February (in the next session), they are going to legislate, I am sure, that transgenic corn cannot be planted and that Mexico's biodiversity must be protected in our country. As we say: Without corn, there is no country!”
