LINCOLN — “Mexico’s announced repeal of their unlawful ban on genetically modified (GM) corn coming from the United States is a substantial win for Nebraska’s corn farmers. As one of the nation’s leading corn producing states, Nebraska farmers were in the direct line of fire on this proposed ban. Mexico also remains Nebraska’s largest total export customer, importing $284 million or 93% of Nebraska’s total corn exports. As we approach the required review of the U.S., Mexico, Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2026, it is imperative our trading partners adhere to any and all signed agreements.”
