Kokonaishyötys

Kokonaishyötys is a Finnish term that translates to "total yield" or "gross yield." It is primarily used in economic and agricultural contexts to refer to the overall output or production before any deductions or costs are considered. In agriculture, kokonaishyötys would represent the total amount of crop harvested or livestock produced from a given area or over a specific period, without accounting for expenses like seeds, labor, or fertilizer. Similarly, in a business or economic sense, it can signify the total revenue generated before subtracting operational costs, taxes, or depreciation. This concept is important for understanding the gross value of production, serving as a baseline for further financial analysis and efficiency assessments. Comparing kokonaishyötys over time or between different entities can highlight trends in production capacity and market demand. It's a foundational measure that precedes calculations of net profit or value added.
