An average is not a forecast. What an acre actually gives depends on the variety, the season, irrigation and soil — this is what the state achieved on average across every grower, as reported by the department.
How the conversion works
One acre is 0.40468564 hectares and one quintal is 100 kg, so a yield in kilograms per hectare becomes quintals per acre by multiplying by 0.0040468564. Nothing is rounded until it is displayed.
The official figure is the one we stand behind and the one to cite. The acre figure is arithmetic on top of it, shown because it is the unit most growers in India actually plan in — not because it is a better number.
Every figure here carries its estimate round. An advance estimate is a forecast the department will revise; a final estimate is settled. Both are marked. Browse the full Atlas.
