World Cereal Yields Opportunity to Increase Yields in Developing Countries The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) projects that approximately 90 percent of the increase in global crop production by 2050 will come from improving yields and increasing cropping intensity. The greatest opportunities are expected to occur in developing countries where yields currently lag far behind those in the developed world. While this process will not occur overnight, we expect the adoption of best management practices in these countries will lead to significant yield improvements over time. These practices include the use of balanced fertilizer applications, improved seed technology, greater mechanization and more efficient irrigation systems.
