How many kilograms of grain are harvested per hectare.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1979 to 2024.
Top-20 · kg per hectare
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The yield of cereal crops in kilograms per hectare of harvested area. The gap between countries reaches tenfold and is explained by climate, varieties, fertilizer application and the level of farming technique. Rising yields are the main source of the growth in world food production, with the area under cereals almost unchanged.
Important: The aggregate is weighted by the land under cereal production: it is the whole harvest of the group divided by all of its harvested area. Yield depends not only on technology but also on climate and on the mix of crops grown.
The gross harvest of cereal crops, in tonnes.
Agriculture 1961–2024 Land under cereal productionHow much land is occupied by cereal crops — wheat, rice, maize and the rest.
Agriculture 1961–2023 Fertilizer useHow many kilograms of fertilizer are applied per hectare of arable land.
Agriculture 1990–2023 Irrigated landThe share of agricultural land equipped for irrigation.
