English term

forfeit (see paragraph)

English to Spanish Science Agriculture
The financial gain takes into account the seed price premium paid by farmers for BT maize seed. Benbrook (217) argues that farmers in the maize belt "forfeit" a significant proportion of their farm income to biotechnology companies because of the seed-price premium

I would need suggestions for forfeit and seed-price premium in this paragraph.

Many, many thanks

ven mermados


Es otra posibilidad en el contexto

a modo de ejemplo " ....los trabajadores ven mermados sus ingresos día con día por este fenómeno."

También puedes usar directamente "tienen que pagar / entregar parte de sus ingresos ... y estoy seguro que en el caso de algunos agricultores esto implica casi sacrificar parte sus ingresos
