The article gives an evaluation of modern efficiency of land exploitation and explains the mathematical link between the production cost and the crop yield. It introduces a number of formulas which allow computing profitability per 1 quintal of production and per 1 hectare of land as well as profitability growth due to growth of the crop yield. The article also introduces the methods of computing marginal profit and the crop yield which provide the desired level of profitability.
