Mexico’s approaching 2023 ban on importing GM corn could lead to a major crisis — for Mexico and the US

Mexico’s proposed GM corn ban, expected to take effect in 2024, has the potential to increase the country’s food insecurity, add $4.4 billion to its corn import costs, and impose fundamental and costly changes on the U.S. and Canadian farming and grain handling sectors.

EXPLAINER-Biotech corn and soy widely used, consumers still wary of GM wheat

Nearly all corn and soybean acres in the world's largest exporting countries are seeded with genetically modified varieties, but that is not the case for wheat, a crop grown primarily for human food. Biotech varieties of corn and soy, used for animal feed, biofuels and ingredients like cooking oil, were introduced in 1996 and soon came to dominate plantings in the United States as well as Brazil and Argentina, the world's top suppliers. But genetically modified wheat has never been grown for commercial purposes due to consumer fears that allergens or toxicities could emerge in a staple used worldwide for bread, pasta and pastries.
