Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heavily subsidized U.S. corn flooded the Mexican market which caused a drop in corn prices. This made it difficult for Mexican farmers to compete, as they were unable to match the price of the imported corn. This led to a decline in the farming industry and an increase in poverty in rural areas.
