The production of hard yellow corn, important in Peru and on the Peruvian north coast, has been reduced in the northern regions, mainly due to the climate and pests that affect the crop and the profitability of the producers. Recent technological innovations, such as genetically modified hard yellow maize (MAD) seeds resistant to the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) with genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis, the MAD Bt, could improve the yield per hectare of this crop in the study area. Thus, the research has the general objective of evaluating ex-ante the economic impacts, in the short and long term, of releasing MADBt seeds on the Peruvian north coast, to support decision-making regarding their release in Peru, although there is now moratorium for this technology. For the short-term evaluation, the partial budget model and the marginal benefit-cost index were used; while, in the long term, the economic surplus changes model was used to estimate the increases in community well-being. Bt corn seeds were found to generate positive economic impacts: short-term profit margin increases of 91.59% per hectare, and a cost-benefit ratio of 1.07; with a probability of 93.8% of successful scenarios due to the new technology in hard yellow corn. In the long term, consumer surplus would increase by S/ 115 million, producer surplus by S/ 225 million; and at the government level, the project would present an expected NPV greater than S/ 355 million, which shows the long-term profitability of the investment. Similar research is recommended for other crops.
