Units explained
Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or one square hectometer. It is the most widely used metric unit for land measurement worldwide.
Defined as 100 ares, equal to one square hectometer. The name was introduced in 1795 in France as part of the metric system.
Hectares are the standard unit for agricultural land measurement worldwide except in the US (which uses acres). 1 hectare equals 2.47105 acres. In India, hectares are used in modern agricultural census and land records alongside traditional regional units.
Adopted in France in 1795; standardized internationally through the SI system.
Feddan
A feddan is an Egyptian unit of land area equal to approximately 4200.83 m² (about 1.038 acres). Used in Egypt, Sudan, Syria, and Oman.
Originated as an Egyptian agricultural unit. Standardized at 4200.83 m² in modern Egyptian law (specifically, 333.33 qasaba squared).
Feddans are the primary unit for agricultural land in Egypt and several Arab countries. The conversion to hectares (1 feddan ≈ 0.42 hectare) is widely known regionally.
Standardized in modern Egyptian land law.
