Mexico will likely overturn its import ban on genetically engineered corn but enact a domestic planting ban into law, President Claudia Sheinbaum said after a USMCA dispute panel sided with the U.S. last week.
The Mexican government is stressing the benefits of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement to the United States amid President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff threats and preparations for the trade deal's forthcoming review – in which market access for U.S. agriculture could feature prominently.
Figures from across the agriculture industry have responded to President-elect Trump’s pick for U.S. trade representative, Jamieson Greer, by pushing him to pursue new market access opportunities for American farmers.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum touted efforts to substitute Chinese imports with locally produced alternatives and downplayed comments from Canadian policymakers that raised questions over Mexico’s future in a North American trade pact.
The election of Claudia Sheinbaum as Mexico's new president ushers in a new cabinet with a commitment to uphold a six-year ban on imports of genetically engineered corn for food use.
