What does the term "Cereal Yield" refer to ?
1. The amount of cereal crops produced per unit area of harvested land
2. The total production of cereal crops in a given country
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :

Cereal yield is defined as the amount of cereal crops produced per unit area of harvested land. It is a measure of agricultural productivity rather than total volume. It is typically expressed in kilograms per hectare (kg/ha) or tonnes per hectare.

• Statement 1 is correct: Yield specifically refers to the ratio of production to the area from which it was harvested.
• Statement 2 is incorrect: The total production of cereal crops refers to the absolute quantity (e.g., million tonnes) produced in a country, which is the product of the yield and the total harvested area.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Bank, cereal yield data are obtained by dividing total production by the harvested area. This includes crops such as wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats, rye, millet, and sorghum.
