Monsanto’s greed continues to threaten 59 indigenous corn varieties in Mexico
By Christina Sarich | Natural Society
As recently as October of 2015, Monsanto stated that it planned to double its sales in
Mexico. The biotech giant already made around $400 million in the
country in 2015. This greed to conquer the Mexican maize market has
caused the company to fight resistance and GMO corn bans initiated by
citizens and government, though the company continues to put 59 unique,
indigenous varieties of corn at risk. [1]
The world’s largest seed producer (largely achieved through lies,
deceit, and monopolizing trade agreements with bought-out governments),
Monsanto still awaits a final ruling on a GMO corn ban
that was overturned by a Mexican judge in September of last year. A
final decision is expected to end up in Mexico’s Supreme Court.
