Previously CHICK-NEWS has reported on a Presidential order issued by Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, apparently banning the use of glyphosate and placing restrictions on importation of GM-origin corn. Agricultural organizations in Mexico have opposed measures promoted by the President claiming that he lacks authority and scientific justification for the restrictions. 
The potential consequences of restricting glyphosate and the importation of yellow corn used to feed livestock was noted in the August 30th edition of the USAPEEC MondayLine. Juan Cortina Gallardo, the president of the Agricultural Council of Mexico, considers the Presidential decree to be ambiguous and will detract from efficient crop production and sustainability.
