Definition

What this measures

Cereal yield, measured as kilograms per hectare of harvested land, includes wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats, rye, millet, sorghum, buckwheat, and mixed grains. Production data on cereals relate to crops harvested for dry grain only. Cereal crops harvested for hay or harvested green for food, feed, or silage and those used for grazing are excluded.

Quality and confidence
FAO data rely on national reporting of area and production; aggregates are area-weighted.
Ingestion rejects values outside 0 to 50,000 kg per hectare.
64 periods with values for this geography, 1961 to 2024.
Revisions
Values reported for the latest period (2024) by each source revision ingested. Earlier rows are never deleted; the newest ingested row is shown as current.
