Yield of agricultural crops refers to the main product per one area
unit of a certain agricultural crop or group of agricultural crops actually
harvested in a production season or in a year on average planted area.
- For annual crops:
Harvested production
Sown yield =
Sown area
Harvested production
Harvested yield =
Harvested area
- For perennial crops: Only productivity is calculated for areas for
products (also known as areas put into production) regardless of whether
there are products in that year or not.
Harvested production from productive area
Harvested yield =
Total productive area
Production of agricultural crops is the total volume of the main
product of a certain agricultural crop or group of agricultural crops obtained
in a cropping season or in a year of an agricultural production unit or a
region/ geographical area.
Production of each type of agricultural crops is determined by the
form of the product. For products such as rice, maize, green beans,
soybeans, etc. are recorded in the form of dry grain; sweet potatoes,
potatoes, cassava are recorded in form of fresh bulbs; tea in form of fresh
buds, coffee in form of dry kernel, rubber in form of dried latex, fruits in
form of fresh fruits, etc.
Production of cereals include output of paddy, maize, and others
grain crops such as wheat, millet, kaoliang, etc. produced in a given period
of time.
Production of paddy rice (also known as production of paddy in basket)
is the clean and dried paddy output of all crops in the year. The paddy output of
a year is valid for that year, excluding loss during harvest, transport, and
threshing, etc. (destroyed by mice, loss in fields, damage before storage).
