✨ AI Insight

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.
