opbrengs

Opbrengs is a Dutch noun referring to the amount produced or the return obtained from an activity. In standard Dutch, the corresponding noun is opbrengst, with the plural opbrengsten. The spelling opbrengs is uncommon in contemporary usage and is generally considered a nonstandard variant or dialectal form.

In agriculture, opbrengst means yield: the quantity of a crop produced per unit area, such as tons per hectare or liters per plant. It is influenced by factors including climate, soil quality, crop variety, and agricultural practices. Yield is a key indicator of farm productivity and is used to compare varieties, regions, and management strategies. In horticulture and forestry, yield refers to harvested volume or weight of products.

In finance and economics, opbrengst can denote the return or yield of an investment, such as interest, dividends, or capital gains. In practice, the term is often interchangeable with rendement, although rendement is more common in formal financial language. The yield may be expressed as a percentage or as an absolute amount and can be quoted as gross or net.

Other uses include the proceeds of sales, rents, or other revenue associated with property or activities. The word derives from the verb opbrengen, meaning to bring forth or yield; the standard form today is opbrengst/opbrengsten.
