Mexico Must Live Up to its USMCA Commitments

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the U.S. Trade Representative establishing a dispute panel in Mexico’s biotech corn import ban.

“AFBF appreciates U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai for her continued commitment to ensuring Mexico lives up to its responsibilities under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement by allowing fair trade from the United States.

“Mexico’s ban on bioengineered corn is not only a clear violation of USMCA, it also ignores science and denies families in Mexico safe and affordable food. America’s farmers are upholding their obligations by meeting demand while achieving important sustainability goals. Mexico must do the same.”
