Mexico says NO to GMO Monsanto
Mexico Joins Other Countries In Banning Glyphosates, While The U.S. Still Allows Their Use
Chemical compounds found in Monsanto’s weedkiller Roundup, known as glyphosates have been linked
to serious human health issues and population decline in key pollinators.
“Given the scientific evidence of glyphosate toxicity, demonstrating the impacts on human health and
the environment, the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) has taken important
steps to gradually reduce the use of this chemical until it achieves a total ban in 2024,” said Dr.
Adelita San Vicente Tello, Director General of the Primary Sector and Renewable Natural Resources at SEMARNAT.
The moves to protect glyphosate shipments to Mexico have played out over the last 18 months, a period
in which Bayer was negotiating an $11bn settlement of legal claims brought by people in the US who say
they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma due to exposure to the company’s glyphosate-based products.
