Figure 18. Wheat Yields in the OIC and the World
Source: FAOSTAT
Figure 19 shows the maize yields in the OIC and the World. In 2016, average maize yield of OIC
member countries reached 3.1 tons/hectare, from 1.8 tons/hectare in 1995. Compared to the
world, the increase in maize yield in the OIC member countries between 1995 and 2016 was
higher; i.e., 70 percent for the OIC and almost 50 percent for the World. Nonetheless, the maize
yield in the OIC has been considerably lower than the World average overtime, and it is still
behind the world’s level in 1990s. As of 2016, world average wheat yield was 84 percent higher
than that of OIC member countries.
