“Food sovereignty will continue to be the guiding axis of our policy for the countryside. We will guarantee self-sufficiency of white corn, free of GMOs, for human consumption. We will secure the supply of corn for human consumption. The goal, additionally, is to win a true agreement between producers of corn and tortillas, we want to arrive at a fair price of tortillas in our country.”
