National tomato, cucumber and pepper yields by country
FAOSTAT 2024 national averages for the markets covered by our drip and fertigation guides. Each figure mixes open-field and greenhouse production, so it is a country benchmark — not a greenhouse yield target. For greenhouse planning use the greenhouse yield planner.

How to read these figures
National averages are pulled down by low-input open fields and up by high-tech greenhouses. A null value means FAO publishes no figure for that country and crop. SeedMatchGroup does not adjust or estimate these numbers.
