CROP YIELD (yield per hectare in metric tons of 47 major and priority crops)

1. Identify the top three crops in your LGU.

2. Determine yield per crop using the following formula:
Crop Yield (metric tons per hectare) =

Total production
Area harvested

Example:
Crop 1: Mango =

125 metric tons

20 hectares

= 6. 25 metric tons per hectare

3. Get the corresponding description of the computed yield per crop from the Crop
Yield Rating Table below.
In the above example, crop yield for mango is within national average.
