Among 54 countries with at least 0.1% of the world area harvested. Yields depend on climate, irrigation, varieties and how the crop is counted, so they are not a measure of efficiency alone. More on [wheat production](https://husfarm.com/production/wheat/).

## How to use this tool

- Choose the crop and your country.
- Enter your yield and its unit.
- Read your yield against the national and world average and where it would rank among countries.
- Read the national yield trend and the countries with the highest yields.

## How it is calculated

Yield = production ÷ area harvested, from the FAOSTAT crops and livestock production data. Country rankings include countries with at least 0.1% of the world area harvested of the crop. Your yield is converted to tonnes per hectare before the comparison; a bushel weighs 27.22 kg of wheat or soybeans, 25.40 kg of maize, 21.77 kg of barley and 14.52 kg of oats.

## Questions and answers

### Where do the yield figures come from?

From FAOSTAT, the statistics of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, which collects production and area harvested from national statistical offices.

### Why is my yield above the national average?

National averages include every farm and region, irrigated and rain-fed, early and late sown, and fields hit by drought or flooding; a well-managed farm in a good year is often well above it.

### Is the latest year final?

FAOSTAT revises recent years when countries send final figures, so the latest year can change in a later release.
