cereal production

Growing wheat commercially

Cereal production is the cultivation and harvesting of grain crops—wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley, and similar staples.

The term appears in agricultural economics and food policy discussions: Global cereal production reached record levels this year.

It measures output in tons or bushels, distinct from the processing of breakfast cereals.
