What the Data Shows
FAOSTAT reports oil palm fruit yield by nation for 2024 in kilograms per hectare. The ranking compares nine non-aggregate nation rows from the same FAOSTAT source, with no share column because no external denominator is used. Malaysia ranks first at 19,770 kg/ha, ahead of Thailand at 18,333 kg/ha. Malaysia’s value is 1.35x the #9 nation, Peru at 14,691 kg/ha, so the page is best read as a yield ranking.

Data notes & caveats
Values are annual yields in kilograms per hectare. Shares are not included because the page uses a ranked nation comparison rather than a separate global total. kg/ha means kilograms per hectare.
Methodology
The ranking uses FAOSTAT nation rows for oil palm fruit, yield, kg per hectare and 2024. Aggregate reporting groups are excluded where they appear in the source. Values are ranked from highest to lowest and rounded consistently for display.
Source consistency notes
Rows use the same FAOSTAT Crops and Livestock Products source family, metric, unit and year, supporting a like-for-like ranking across nations.
