Which term means the amount produced; product or yield?

• A. Commercial Farming
• B. Output
• C. Specialisation
• D. Arable Land

Answer: (B)

The word for the amount produced is output. In farming and agricultural systems, output means the total quantity that the system produces over a given period (for example, tonnes of grain in a harvest). It’s a measure of how much comes out of the farm as a whole. The product refers to the goods themselves, the wheat, rice, etc., not how much there is in total. Yield, on the other hand, usually describes the amount produced per unit area or per input (like tonnes per hectare), focusing on productivity rather than the overall quantity. So output best answers “how much is produced” across the whole system. For example, a farm might have an output of 120 tonnes of grain in a year.
