Mexico: Mexico Publishes Decree to Ban Glyphosate and GE Corn

On December 31, Mexico published a final decree that calls for a phase-out of use of both glyphosate and genetically modified (GE) corn for human consumption in Mexico. The decree states that use of the herbicide glyphosate will be phased out over the next four years and also calls for the revocation of existing and future permits for GE corn cultivation and consumption. The use of GE corn for human consumption would be phased out no later than January 31, 2024. The Mexican government has yet to provide expected timelines or implementation details for the decree.
