crop yields
Agricultural production totals
Crop yields are the amounts of agricultural produce harvested from a given area of land, typically measured in bushels per acre or tons per hectare.
The term appears constantly in discussions of farming, food security, and climate change: Drought reduced crop yields across the region.
Higher yields mean more food from the same land.
