Ban of GMOs in Mexico

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a presidential decree on 31 December 2020 calling for genetically modified (GM) corn for human consumption to be phased out by the end of January 2024. Banning GM corn was one of the Mexican president’s campaign promises. Earlier this month, he insisted Mexico was a “sovereign free country” and that “we do not want GM”.
