Mahsul

Mahsul is a transliteration of the Arabic-Persian word mahsul (محصول), meaning that which is produced or the harvest. In Urdu and Hindi, the term commonly denotes yield, crop production, or produce. It is used in agricultural, economic, and everyday language to refer to the output of fields, factories, or other production processes. In South Asian statistical reporting and government budgeting, mahsul frequently appears in discussions of total agricultural output or harvest figures.

The term has long-standing usage in languages written with the Arabic script, including Persian, Urdu, and Punjabi, and it appears in literary, legal, and commercial contexts to signify goods that have been produced or obtained. In modern reporting, it may be encountered in phrases describing crop yields, harvest measurements, or agricultural revenue, often alongside related terms such as output, production, or yield.

As a name, mahsul can also be found as a given name or surname in some Urdu- and Persian-speaking communities. It remains relatively uncommon in this role compared with its primary semantic use as a noun meaning harvest or production.

Variant spellings of the term arise from transliteration differences, including mahsul, mahsol, and mahsoul, depending on linguistic and regional practices. The word’s core meaning—produced goods or yield—remains consistent across contexts.
