The National Uniform Yield Trials (NUYT) conducted by the Pakistan Agriculture Research Council (PARC) showed the improvements of biotech maize hybrids in terms of yield increasing from 10 to 45 percent as compared to conventional hybrids. In addition, over the past 20 years that Pakistan's maize production shifted from conventional to hybrid, the country already experienced a four-fold yield increase. The occasion was also used as an avenue to educate farmers and journalists about the safety of GM crops and their yield advantages.
