U.S. farmers say they can meet Mexico\u2019s needs for non-GMO corn<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mexico plans to contract with farmers in the U.S., Argentina, and Brazil to buy non-GMO yellow corn as the country moves closer to its scheduled ban of genetically modified corn in 2024, according to the country\u2019s deputy agriculture minister, Victor Su\u00e1rez.<\/p>\n

Mexico to increase non-GMO corn production by 6 million tons<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview with Reuters, Su\u00e1rez said Mexico is on schedule to cut its U.S. imports of yellow corn, used primarily for animal feed, by nearly half. The government is working to make agreements with the country\u2019s corn growers to increase yellow corn production to 6 million tons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do believe that we will achieve it,\u201d Su\u00e1rez said.<\/p>\n

Mexico currently imports some 17 million tons of U.S. corn each year, most of it is yellow GMO corn.<\/p>\n

Mexico is relying on its small- and medium-scale farmers who show significant growth potential in their yields per acre, Su\u00e1rez says.<\/p>\n

To make up the other 50%, Su\u00e1rez says Mexico will look to contract with farmers in other countries, including the U.S., to grow non-GMO corn.<\/p>\n

Last year, The Organic & Non-GMO Report<\/em> described<\/a> how U.S. farmers and grain suppliers said they can meet Mexico\u2019s need for non-GMO corn.<\/p>\n

Ken Dallmier, CEO of Clarkson Grain<\/a>, an Illinois-based supplier of organic and non-GMO grains, said that the U.S. could supply Mexico with all the non-GMO corn it needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven time and focus, I think it\u2019s completely feasible,\u201d he said. \u201cMexico is a key trading partner, and all the logistics of Mexican grain import come through the U.S. It\u2019s matter of planning and market.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
