At the moment of the release of this information, there was not reliable disaggregated data for yellow maize production in Guanajuato "Spring - Summer 20" that could be used for a proper yield comparison against the target yellow variety exclusively used by the farmers linked to the project. Until the appropriate data is available, a combined figure for "Spring - Summer 20" white and maize hybrids is shown here, which explains the relative lower yield of participating farmers.
