Pagado, reembolsado.


Explanation:
Bonificar in this context, means that since the corn has a higher content of oil, after bein processed it will yield a higher amount of oil than normal. Therefore the producer of the corn will receiv an extra benefit or "bonificación".

que es bonificado
which yields extra returns


Explanation:
I believe the idea is that the high value seed costs more, but returns extra value after harvest by being able to sell the crop for special purpose applications.
