The value for Cereal yield (kg per hectare) in Costa Rica was 4,294 as of 2018. As the graph below shows, over the past 57 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 4,498 in 2014 and a minimum value of 1,154 in 1961.

Definition: Cereal yield, measured as kilograms per hectare of harvested land, includes wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats, rye, millet, sorghum, buckwheat, and mixed grains. Production data on cereals relate to crops harvested for dry grain only. Cereal crops harvested for hay or harvested green for food, feed, or silage and those used for grazing are excluded. The FAO allocates production data to the calendar year in which the bulk of the harvest took place. Most of a crop harvested near the end of a year will be used in the following year.
