Wheat yields in least developed countries since 1961, in kilograms per hectare. By one 2021 estimate, the Green Revolution increased yields by 44% between 1965 and 2010. [80] Cereal production more than doubled in developing nations between the years 1961–1985. [81] Yields of rice, corn, and wheat increased steadily during that period. [81]
