The chief agricultural trade negotiator has reportedly given Mexico until Tuesday to explain the science behind its proposed ban on biotech corn. Doug McKalip told Reuters this response will help the United States determine the path forward. In late January, Mexico rejected 14 traits submitted by the U.S. and did not provide any explanation. McKalip said Mexico needs to base its decisions on science. Mexico’s GMO corn ban is expected to begin in 2024.
