After the 2010 Haiti earthquake , Monsanto donated $ 255,000 for disaster relief and 60,000 seed sacks ( 475 tons ) of hybrid ( non-GM ) corn and vegetable seeds worth $ 4 million . However , a Catholic Relief Services ( CRS ) rapid assessment of seed supply and demand for the five most common food security crops found that the Haitians had enough seed and recommended that imported seeds be introduced only on a small scale . Emmanuel Prophete , head of Haiti 's Ministry of Agriculture 's Service National Semencier ( SNS ) , stated that SNS was not opposed to the hybrid maize seeds because they at least double yields . Louise Sperling , Principal Researcher at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture ( CIAT ) told HGW that she was not opposed to hybrids , but noted that most hybrids required extra water and better soils and that most of Haiti was not appropriate for hybrids
