¡Sin maíz no hay país!” goes the slogan – Without corn there is no Mexico. It’s being used by activists who want to close the border to corn imports from the United States.
Mexico is no longer self-sufficient in corn production, and this is seen by many as an outrage. After all, corn (Zea mays, also known as maize) was domesticated here and has been cultivated for millennia. It was an important part of the pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican civilization, and is still a staple food of contemporary Mexican society.
Is it a disaster then, that Mexico is not self-sufficient?”*
