But Prof. Hala Mynit has presented a lot of problems regarding GR. (1) Technical Problems: (i) Due to GR where the need for better seeds, fertilizers and pesticides rises, there also emerge the problems regarding demand and supply of water. As in Thailand, Philippine and Malaysia the rice crop is sown in the rainy season. Therefore, there exist the chances that the fertilizers will flow out because of floods. (ii) No doubt the HYV seeds will make it possible to get more crops in a year. But this could be possible only if the cropping pattern is changed, and the techniques of harvesting is also altered. As the dryers will have to be used to dry the rices, as well as the stores will have to be set-up. (iii) As the GR came into being due to 'Miracle Seeds'. But in order to improve the level of seeds the govts. and researchers will have to remain intact with the advance research in this field. Moreover, a compatibility will have to be brought between international agri. technology and domestic conditions. The changes will have to be brought in the systems of crops. (2) Organizational Problems: The GR is also attached with organizational problems. It is also necessary for GR that such an organization be setup where the following functions could be settled efficiently, like (a) distribution of superior seeds and fertilizers, and (b) to purchase the produced output and to store it. In this respect, the countries like Pakistan have setup different departments and corporations which sell seeds and fertilizers. Moreover, they also purchase wheat and rice etc. But the performance of these organizations has been very much poor because of official formalities, corruption and red-tapism. Before GR the farmers used to practice subsistence farming and people used to produce equal to their needs. But after GR when output increases
