The U.S. government requested a dispute settlement panel in 2023 over Mexico's restrictive limits on genetically modified corn, asserting that Mexico's practices undermine trade agreements.
Despite disagreements on the ruling, Mexico's Economy Department acknowledged it must abide by the panel's decision, emphasizing the importance of protecting public health and Indigenous community rights.
The U.S. Trade Representative's Office stated that the panel ruled in favor of the U.S. by confirming that Mexico's restrictions are not scientifically justified and violate trade agreements.
The outcome was deemed a significant victory for U.S. corn growers, who faced the threat of losing a crucial export market due to Mexico's proposed bans.
