Monsanto stands firm on GM maize in Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Nov 10 (Tierramérica) - The powerful biotech corporation Monsanto, which anti-genetic modification activists charge is corrupt, maintains that it has a positive image around the world and announces that it will continue to fight to ensure that Mexico, birthplace of maize, will open its doors to transgenic varieties of the grain. In an interview with Tierramérica in Mexico City, Eduardo Pérez, director of technology development for Monsanto in northern Latin America, said that although "activism has created a mistaken perception of us," it does not affect the company's commercial performance.
