- Mexico has amended its Constitution to recognise native corn as an element of national identity and banning the planting of genetically modified (GM) seeds.
- The crop has originated in Mexico nearly 9,000 years ago when Mesoamerican farmers domesticated teosinte, a wild grass.
- Since then, corn has remained central to Mexican life.
- Corn imports surged from 3.1 million metric tonnes in the early 1990s to nearly 23.4 million metric tonnes today.
