Wheat is one of the most important crops produced in Australia. In financial year 2024, the yield of this winter crop was estimated at 2.1 metric tons per hectare, a notable year-on-year decrease. According to the source, the yield was forecast to increase in 2025. The role of wheat Wheat is grown primarily in Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia. Production of wheat in the country has recovered recently, despite a decline in 2024. Both bread wheat and durum wheat are used to produce wheat-based food consumed within the country. Wheat is Australia’s second-largest agriculture export commodity and one of its highest value crops. Most of the wheat produced in Australia was exported to countries within Asia and the Middle East. Challenges to growth Drought has impacted grain production across the country, with the area of land for wheat production dropping to a low in 2020. In 2019, the country imported wheat for the domestic market for the first time in 12 years. This raised biosecurity concerns among grain growers, who were worried about the potential for new weeds or diseases to be introduced. However, a shortfall in high-protein wheat can negatively impact domestic dairy farmers, who require bulk grain for their livestock. Nevertheless, the area for wheat production has since recovered.

Explore the average wheat yield per acre by country, including China, India, United States, Russia, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Pakistan, and Ukraine. Discover the factors influencing wheat yields and the importance of sustainable practices for long-term agricultural viability.

In the marketing year of 2024/2025, the global production volume of wheat amounted to almost 793 million metric tons. This was an increase compared to the previous marketing year. Wheat in the U.S. The United States produces a large amount of wheat each year, a great deal of which is subsequently exported. In 2022/23, the country imported about 122 million bushels of wheat, while exporting 758 million bushels. North Dakota, Kansas, and Montana were the leading U.S. states in terms of wheat production in 2023. Post Shredded Wheat Post Shredded Wheat is a brand of breakfast cereal, made from whole wheat, owned by the American company, known as Post Consumer Brands. The brand comes in many varieties, including Frosted Shredded Wheat, Original Big Biscuit, and Original Spoon Size. When surveyed in 2020, roughly six and a half million American consumers consumed between one and four portions of regular Post Shredded Wheat for breakfast over the last seven days.

In 2023, wheat yielded around 74.8 decitons per hectare of land in Germany. Barley yielded almost 69 decitons per hectare. The timeline shows the crop yield from various grains per hectare of agricultural land in Germany from 1960 to 2023.

Abstract

Crop estimating survey on paddy which is popularly known as "Crop Cutting Survey" commenced in the year 1950. It is conducted in Maha and Yala season with a view to estimate the average yield of paddy and production by District. In a Maha season about 6,000 and in a Yala season about 4,000 experiments are being conducted for this survey and it is the only source to estimate the country's paddy production. Policy Planners are benefited by these data in numerous ways for taking the decisions such as volume of additional rice requirement of the country to be imported in time, evaluation of extension programs undertaken to uplift the average yields of paddy, pricing policies of rice, mobilization of stocks from one place to another and many more. Therefore, it is a great responsibility to estimate paddy production accurately and timely to fulfill the national requirement.

Field staff attached to each District has been entrusted with many responsibilities on various data collection activities and among them, method of data collection for crop cutting is different from the other surveys. This survey is associated with an objective approach; as such crop cutting officers should carry out experiments in the field by themselves. According to the standard procedure, the crop cutting officer must visit the selected paddy field and they should follow a number of steps such as; demarcate the specified plot of land equivalent to 16' ½'' X 16' 1/2" (a paddy land of one perch of an acre), harvest the crop of the plot, thresh the grain, measure the grain using standard set of seers and finally report the results through the prescribed form CC3.

Special remarks - effective from 2005/2006 Maha Season

In order to perform these steps, Crop Cutting Officers should get the fullest co-operation from selected farmers. According to the available information, the whole process of conducting such an experiment takes around three hours. Also, all steps are being performed manually in many occasions. It is obvious that the crop cutting is a laborious procedure at present. Considering the volume of work and practical difficulties which could affect negatively, it is a must to introduce an updated method in order to maintain the quality of data. Some of the suggestions to overcome this burden are as follows.

(1) Reduce the volume and time of involvement of the officers (2) Introduce modern equipment to thresh the grain or assess the paddy yield of the plot. (3) Replace the current methodology with an alternative survey procedure.

As an initial step, the Agriculture Division of DCS in line with above suggestion noted in (1) a pilot survey has been conducted in Kegalle District in the 2005/06 Maha season. This was extended to Matara and Kurunegala Districts during the Maha 2007/08, by reducing the experimental plot size to half of that of the standard plot which is used at present. Now, the Agriculture Division is statistically testing the results of the pilot survey against the results of the standard survey conducted hitherto. If there is no significant difference between these two, the new plot size would be introduced in the near future.

Concepts, Definitions and Classifications associated with Crop Estimation of Paddy Survey

Seasons - In Sri Lanka there are two major cultivation seasons associated with two monsoons and they are known as Maha season and Yala Season.

Maha Season is the main season associated with North-east monsoons effective during September - April in the following year. When a particular crop is planted and harvested during this period is known to be Maha Crop.

Yala season is the secondary season which is associated with South-west monsoons effective during the period between May to September. When a particular crop is planted and harvested during this period is known to be Yala Crop.

Mode of Irrigation There are three type of irrigations related with paddy cultivation. They are (1). Major Irrigation schemes (2). Minor Irrigation schemes (3). Rain-fed schemes.

Major Irrigation schemes defined to be an irrigated scheme of which water is fed to more than 200 acres otherwise it defines as a Minor Irrigation scheme.

Rain-fed is defined, if the cultivated extent is purely depending on rain water in absence of permanent water tank or reservoir.

Volume of Production is reported in Metric Tons. Average Yield per acre or Hectare: An Indicator of productivity per area unit (2.471 acres = 1 hectare while 1 hectare is equal to 1,000 square meters) estimated through crop cutting survey. Average yield per acre is reported in Bushels while per hectare is reported in Kgs.

Average yield is expressed in terms of Paddy (grain with the husk form but not in Rice form)

Area Harvested refers to the gross area of which the harvest is gathered excluding the area damaged due to different causes.

Gross Area refers to the extent of which reported by enumerators or respondents based on cultivated extent estimated by seed rates but not based on cadastral surveys while Net Area refers to the extent evolved by deducting the extent set a part for bunds and ridges.

Production for a year should consider to be the sum of the production of Maha season and Yala season. For instance the production of the year 2005 is to be the sum of 2004/05 Maha season and Yala season of 2005.

Sampling procedure

Sampling Design: The sampling design adopted in the survey is a stratified multistage sampling method where DS Divisions were treated as strata and mode of irrigation schemes namely; Major, Minor, and Rain-fed as sub strata. Number of villages to be selected for crop cutting experiments in each scheme is decided on the basis of the following proportions.

Acreage sown in the previous corresponding season Number of villages to be selected
< 500 Acres 3
500 - <1000 Acres 5
1000 - < 5000 Acres 10
5000 - < 10,000 Acres 15
10,000 - < 15,000 Acres 20
15,000 - < 20,000 Acres 25
20,000 Acres and above 30

Though the recommended design is such, considering the sampling variances occurred during the previous seasons, the number of experimental villages to be selected is being curtailed in order to keep the number of villages within a range of 3,000 for a Maha season and 2,000 for a Yala season in a year. Other reasons for such restrictions were related to practical aspects like cost of the survey and number of personnel that could be deployed to carry out crop cuttings.

In each selected village two crop cutting experiments are conducted. The whole procedure in conducting the experiment is stated in detail in the manual of Crop Cutting Experiments prepared by the Agriculture Division. At present the sample villages and the parcels are selected at random. However, prior to 1980, selection of villages as well as parcels was done at random with probability proportional to the area cultivated during the previous corresponding season with replacement. As the procedure was somewhat laborious and time consuming, it was replaced with the present system i.e. both stages at random. Sample villages are selected in the head office while the selections of parcels are done at the respective Districts.

Controlling of Non-sampling Errors: In view of the accuracy of the experimental results, a sample of 1/5 of selected villages are to be supervised by executive officers/District Heads identified from the District such as DS/GA, Divisional Secretary, Director/Deputy Director of Agriculture, Deputy Commissioners of Agrarian Development in addition to the Senior Staff of DCS attached to the District. Spot checks are to be performed by them by visiting the sample villages.

Estimation of Average Yield of Paddy Average yield of paddy per acre/hectare by mode of irrigation and by District is being estimated through an objective survey which is popularly known as crop cutting survey on paddy. This has been initiated in 1950 and the methodology introduced by Dr. Koshal, Statistician of FAO (an Indian expert) under the assistance of FAO. From time to time some modifications have been introduced and the procedure is still in operation to estimate the paddy production in each season.

In 2024/2025, it is expected that the United States will be the largest producer of corn worldwide with a production volume amounting to about 377.6 million metric tons. China and Brazil rounded off the top corn producing countries. Corn production Corn, also known as maize, is a grain plant cultivated for food. The origin of this grain remains unknown, however, many historians believe that corn was first domesticated in Mexico's Tehuacan Valley. Types of corn include sweet corn, popcorn, pod corn, flint corn, flour corn, waxy corn and dent corn. Corn is one of the most important crops in the United States. Over the last years, the country's corn farmers experienced constant increases in annual revenues. In 2022/23, the U.S. was responsible for almost one-third of the global corn production. Iowa and Illinois were the top U.S. states based on harvested area of corn for grain in 2023. That year, Iowa's corn for grain production value amounted to approximately 11.55 million acres. In 2022/23, the United States exported around 42.5 million metric tons of corn, making the nation the world's second largest corn exporter. Mexico and China were the leading buyers of U.S. corn in 2022, purchasing approximately 662 million bushels and 579 million bushels respectively.

From 2000 onwards, the total area of land in U.S. farms has decreased annually, aside from a small increase in 2012. Over the time period displayed, the total farmland area has decreased by over 66 million acres, reaching a total of 878.6 million acres as of 2023.

Farming in the U.S.

Not only has the land for farming been decreasing in the U.S., but so has the total number of farms. From 2000 to 2021, the number of farms in the U.S. decreased from about 2.17 million farms in 2000 to just under 1.9 million in 2023. Texas has more than double the number of farms compared to other U.S. states, with 231,000 farms in 2023.

U.S. agricultural exports

The U.S. is known for agriculture production and is the leading exporter of agricultural products worldwide. The total U.S. agricultural exports were valued at over 178 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Over 4.8 billion dollars’ worth of agricultural exports came from fresh or processed vegetables in 2022.

This statistic shows the yield of rice per harvested acre in the United States from 2000 to 2024. According to the report, the rice yield per harvested acre amounted to approximately to 7,748 pounds in 2024, increasing from 7,641 pounds per acre the previous year.

Abstract

Although the Census of Population was a regular decennial function since 1871, the Census of Agriculture had not been conducted in such a frequency. A census of Production, virtually Agricultural production was taken in 1921 and was followed by a partial censuses in 1924 and 1929. At these censuses. particulars of crop areas, livestock numbers, and production were recorded at village level.

In more recent times the Census of Agriculture had been conducted in 1946, 52, 62 and 73. At the '46 census, a plot-wise enumeration was undertaken of all blocks of land throughout the country, on which there existed at the time or had previously existed any kind of cultivation. This was the first comprehensive census of agriculture in Sri Lanka in recent times.

A deviation from this pattern of parcel-wise enumeration was first attempted at the 1952 census, but difficulties in completely enumerating the villages selected in the sample restricted the use of the census data on small holdings. The 1962 census, enumerated all holdings not less than 50 acres on a complete basis and a sample of 10 percent in the case of holdings less than 50 acres. In 1973 the larger holdings and all estates were completely enumerated for detailed information on the various characteristics and operations while a sample of small holdings were scientifically selected and enumerated.

Analysis unit

The basic unit of enumeration was in this census was the operational holding (as distinct from the ownership holding) which was defined as all land and/or livestock used wholly or partly for agriculture production irrespective of title size legal form or location and is operated under one operational status.

Universe

The Census of Agriculture covered the entire island excluding the MC's of Colombo and Dehiwela-Mt. Lavinia which are predominantly residential and commercial areas where agricultural activity is insignificant.

The listing of holdings (other than estates) were carried out separately on a complete enumeration basis. Holdings were listed by house to house visit using the Census of Population frame. A list of estates were also prepared at the time of the population census which was updated to reflect the position in 1982.

Census of Agriculture 82 was carried out in two phases: a. The Peasant or Small Holding Sector b. The Estate or the Large Holding Sector

An Agriculture holding having at least one parcel of 20 acres in extent or more and under the same unit of management was considered as an estate. Other holdings were small holdings.

The census in the small holding sector was carried out in two stages. At the 1st stage the enumerator visited each and every census unit namely housing unit, living quarters other than housing unit and non-housing units in the country and screened out the Agriculture operators thro' a schedule known as Agriculture Census 1 (AC-1). After identifying the agricultural operators, the enumerators collected the following information in respect of their operational holdings through the schedule Agricultural Census - 2 (AC-2).

a. Characteristics of the operators - age, sex, educational status b. Type of ownership of holding c. Operational Status of operator d. Area of operational holding e. Area under principal crops. f. Irrigated and source of irrigation g. Agriculture machinery owned and used h. Numbers of livestock kept.

Along with the first stage census operation, the enumerators were instructed to summarize some important info obtained from AC-2 schedule on a summary sheet AC-4 in order to serve immediate needs of data users.

At the second stage a sample of 10% of the holdings was selected and the following info was collected thro' AC-3.

a. Population of operator's household b. Sources of income of operator's household c. Main occupation of the operator d. Type of holding e. Use of fertilizer and pesticides f. Land utilization and tenure pattern

The estate sector was covered thro' a mailed questionnaire AC-5. A complete list of estates has been prepared by the field staff and to all these estates, census questionnaires were posted along with brief instructions. The estate managers were requested to fill the questionnaire and post them back to the respective District commissioners of Census. The non-respondents were visited by the District Census Staff and finally the response rate was as high as 99%. Following items were covered through the estate schedule:

a. Location of estate b. Characteristics of the operator c. Total area of the estate d. Area under principal crop e. Tenure and land utilization f. Crop area and livestock numbers g. Use of fertilizer and pesticides h. Irrigation facilities i. Population and employment j. Agricultural employment k. Agricultural machinery

In the 2024/26 crop year, a yield of 5.7 metric tons per hectare was expected for corn crops in Brazil , up by around four percent when compared to the previous crop year. The area planted with corn in the country was forecast to reach around 21 million hectares that crop year.

This statistic shows the U.S. states with the highest rice yield per harvested acre from 2017 to 2024. Texas reported a rice yield of 8,800 pounds per harvested acre. California had the next highest yield, with 8,530 pounds of rice per harvested acre.

This statistic shows the total cotton yield per harvested acre in the U.S. from 2001 to 2024. In 2024, the total cotton yield per harvested acre amounted to approximately 836 pounds. This constitutes a decrease of 63 pounds from 2023.

In the financial year 2024, the average farm yield of soybeans was estimated at three metric tons per hectare in Australia. This was forecast to decrease to 2.6 metric tons per hectare in 2025. Crop production in Australia Australia's agricultural sector depends heavily on crop production, which also plays a significant role in the nation's economy and the world's food supply. The diverse climate across the continent allows for cultivating a wide variety of crops. The largest land area used for agricultural purposes is allocated to wheat production. Other major crops include barley, canola, and cotton, and Australia is one of the world's leading exporters of these commodities. China has become the leading export destination for Australia's crop exports, with the value surpassing Japan, Vietnam, and Indonesia combined in financial year 2024. Farming challenges in Australia Farmers across the continent employ advanced technologies and sustainable practices to maximize yields and mitigate the challenges posed by Australia's variable climate, which includes periodic droughts and water scarcity. Being the driest populated continent on Earth, Australia highly values adequate water supply and consumption management. This aspect is strongly influenced by the forestry, fishery, and agriculture sectors, which use a significant amount of water. Additionally, emissions from the farming sector in Australia contribute significantly to the country's overall greenhouse gas output. The expected trend for agriculture emissions in Australia indicates a slight increase from the current levels in 2020 to projected figures in 2035.

In 2024, the average wheat yield in China amounted to 5939.6 kilograms per hectare. The wheat yield in China has increased from an average of around 5510 kilograms per hectare between 2015 and 2020.

In the financial year 2024, the average farm yield of corn maize was expected to amount to approximately 7.6 metric tons per hectare in Australia. This was forecasted to slightly decrease to 7.2 metric tons per hectare in 2025.

In 2024, the yield of coffee in Brazil amounted to approximately 28.8 bags (of 60 kilograms) per hectare, down from 29.4 bags per hectare in the preceding year. This was estimated to represent a production of almost 59 million bags that year. Coffee crops are characterized by a biennial effect in harvest yields, in which production yields are very high one year, and comparably low in the following. 2024 is a negative biennial year.
