About This Dataset
Countries with the Highest Cereal Yield 2023
The 20 countries and territories with the highest cereal yield in 2023, in kilograms per hectare of harvested land. Oman leads at 29,147 kg per hectare, ahead of United Arab Emirates at 23,307 and Qatar at 18,275. Cereals include wheat, rice, maize, barley and other grains harvested dry. Data covers 179 countries and territories.
Analysis
The median country harvests 3,072 kg per hectare, so Oman gets roughly 9.5 times as much grain from the same land. The top of this list is dominated by Gulf states, where cereals are grown on very small irrigated plots under intensive conditions - the yield per hectare is extreme, but the total harvest is tiny. Among large grain producers the leaders are countries like New Zealand at 8,489 kg per hectare.
