Brazil: Cereal crop yield by hectar

For that indicator, we provide data for Brazil from 1961 to 2021. The average value for Brazil during that period was 2536 kg per hectar with a minimum of 1210 kg per hectar in 1978 and a maximum of 5322 kg per hectar in 2019. The latest value from 2021 is 4479 kg per hectar. For comparison, the world average in 2021 based on 176 countries is 3823 kg per hectar.

Definition: Cereal yield, measured as kilograms per hectare of harvested land, includes wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats, rye, millet, sorghum, buckwheat, and mixed grains. Production data on cereals relate to crops harvested for dry grain only. Cereal crops harvested for hay or harvested green for food, feed, or silage and those used for grazing are excluded. The FAO allocates production data to the calendar year in which the bulk of the harvest took place. Most of a crop harvested near the end of a year will be used in the following year.
