Banana Yield Per Hectare 2004

Barbados

In 2004, Barbados ranked #91 globally in Banana Yield Per Hectare, producing 5.5217004 tonnes/hectare. This yield is significantly lower than that of leading banana producers, which often exceed 30 tonnes per hectare. The relatively low yield can be attributed to the island's limited arable land and challenges such as susceptibility to hurricanes, which disrupt agricultural activities.

Somalia

In 2004, Somalia ranked #50 globally in Banana Yield Per Hectare with a yield of 16.7727 tonnes/hectare. This yield is lower than the global average, reflecting challenges in agricultural productivity. Factors such as ongoing conflict, limited infrastructure, and climate variability significantly impact Somalia's agricultural sector, hindering its potential for higher yields.

Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic ranked #18 globally in 2004 for Banana Yield Per Hectare, achieving a yield of 31.256903 tonnes/hectare. This yield is notably higher than the global average, reflecting the country's favorable tropical climate for banana cultivation.

Key drivers of this high yield include the country's rich volcanic soil and a strong agricultural sector that prioritizes banana exports, which are a significant part of the economy. Additionally, the Dominican Republic benefits from established farming practices and infrastructure that enhance productivity in banana farming.

Burundi

In 2004, Burundi ranked #95 globally in Banana Yield Per Hectare, producing 5.2885003 tonnes/hectare. This yield is lower than many neighboring countries, reflecting challenges in agricultural productivity across the region. Factors contributing to this statistic include Burundi's small landholdings, reliance on subsistence farming, and limited access to modern agricultural techniques and inputs.

Comoros

In 2004, Comoros ranked #90 globally with a Banana Yield Per Hectare of 5.6364 tonnes/hectare. This yield is notably lower than the top-ranked countries, which often exceed 20 tonnes per hectare, highlighting Comoros's challenges in agricultural productivity. The country's limited arable land, combined with its reliance on smallholder farming and susceptibility to climatic variations, significantly affects its banana production capacity.

Jamaica

In 2004, Jamaica ranked #77 globally with a Banana Yield Per Hectare of 8.064501 tonnes/hectare. This yield is notably lower than the top-ranked countries, which often exceed 20 tonnes per hectare, indicating potential challenges in agricultural efficiency. Factors influencing Jamaica's banana yield include its susceptibility to hurricanes, which can devastate crops, and a shift in focus towards tourism over traditional agriculture, impacting investment in farming practices.

French Polynesia

In 2004, French Polynesia ranked #118 globally for Banana Yield Per Hectare, with a yield of 1.2944001 tonnes/hectare. This figure is notably low, especially compared to the top-ranked countries, which often achieve yields exceeding 30 tonnes per hectare. Contributing factors to this low yield include the region's limited agricultural land and challenges posed by its volcanic soil and climate conditions, which can affect crop productivity.

Japan

In 2004, Japan ranked #110 globally with a banana yield of 3.7031002 tonnes/hectare. This yield is notably lower than that of leading banana producers such as Ecuador, which benefits from ideal growing conditions and extensive agricultural practices. Japan's limited land availability, coupled with a focus on high-value crops and urbanization, constrains its banana production capacity.

Colombia

In 2004, Colombia achieved a global rank of #30 with a Banana Yield Per Hectare of 27.031301 tonnes/hectare. This yield is notable when compared to the global average, reflecting Colombia's significant position in banana production. The country's favorable climate, particularly in the Urabá region, combined with established agricultural practices and a focus on export markets, drives its banana cultivation success.

Fiji

In 2004, Fiji ranked #81 globally for Banana Yield Per Hectare, producing 7.0000005 tonnes/hectare. This yield is notably lower than the top-ranked country, India, which has a significantly higher output due to its extensive agricultural practices and favorable climate conditions. The relatively modest yield in Fiji can be attributed to its smaller scale of banana cultivation and challenges such as limited access to advanced farming technologies and infrastructure.
