About hectare

The hectare is a widely used land measurement unit within the metric system and is represented by the symbol “ha.” Although it is not an SI base unit, the hectare has gained global acceptance as a standard unit for measuring land area. While the acre is also commonly used worldwide, the two differ in definition—an acre is a traditional unit of area, whereas a hectare belongs to the metric system. The hectare is commonly used in countries such as Australia, Myanmar (Burma), Canada, the European Union, India, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In some regions, it is known by different local names—for example, manzana in Argentina, bunder in the Netherlands, gong qing in China, and jerib in Iran. Under the British Imperial System, 1 hectare equals 10,000 square metres or approximately 2.471 acres. Additionally, 1 square kilometre is equal to 100 hectares, meaning a farm spanning 100 hectares covers an area of 1 square kilometre
