Relative crop yield
This indicator measures the average yield of 17 major crops relative to estimates of the country-specific maximum attainable yield of those crops based on climate and history. An efficient agricultural system would produce crops at this upper limit, while an inefficient system would be making poor use of its arable land. A score of 100 indicates full yield gap closure, and a score of 0 indicates worst performance. Data supporting this metric come from the FAOSTAT crop production database.
Note: Countries in which the 17 major crops represent less than 5% of total area harvested are not scored on this indicator. Weight assigned to this indicator is reapportioned to other indicators within the Agriculture issue category.
