In Mississippi, average

However, the increase in
hectarage has not been accompanied by increase in productivity.
"Far from precluding it, it is this technology among others which can, for example, offer the possibility of raising drought-resistant crops in desert conditions, salt-resistant crops in the massive
hectarage of the world's salty lands, or produce seed varieties which will make food crops more productive, more disease resistant and less reliant on fertiliser and pesticides.
Horticultural payments will be calculated from the average SFP per hectare in Wales, and will be based on production
hectarage in 2007.
Eight of the 23 countries grow on more than 1 million hectares each, with the eight being, in order of
