The United States Trade Representative has filed a formal dispute settlement with Mexico over its ban of biotech corn for human consumption and animal feed.
National Corn Growers Association President Tom Haag tells Brownfield the filing that’s made possible under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is long overdue. “When we started talking about this in October, this is something that we are happy to see, and this is what we’ve been waiting for.”
He says it could take up to a year before a ruling is issued, but USTR should have a winnable case that’s based in science.
