Answer 1

The correct answer is 'Production'.

Key Points

We need to fill the blank with the most appropriate word .
Here, the sentence implies that orange prices are forecast to grow this year despite an expected increase in their yield.
We need to fill the blank with the synonym of yield.
The marked option 'production' means the amount of something that is made or grown.(उत्‍पादित या उत्‍पन्‍न वस्‍तु की मात्रा).
- Example: The cotton factories excel chiefly in the production of red and printed cottons.
Thus,the correct answer is option 1.
