Observation Absolute yield growth in developing countries is falling for rice and wheat.
Observation Wheat potential yield progress averages 0.5%.
Observation Wheat yield gap averages 40%, ranging 25–50%.

Observation Rice yield gap averages 75%, ranging 15–110%.
Observation Maize potential yield growth averages around 1%.
Observation Maize yield gaps range from around 30% in Iowa to over 200% in sub Saharan Africa.
Observation Yield gaps are larger in developing countries and close slowly except in Iowa maize and Egypt cereals.
Recommendation Yield gap closing is a priority for maize in sub Saharan Africa.
Mechanism Potential yield gain is increasingly linked to biomass and radiation use efficiency.
Mechanism Water limited potential yield depends on further harvest index increases.
Observation Heterosis offers yield gain prospects in rice and wheat.
