About Hectares
A hectare (ha) is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 m² (100 m × 100 m). It is the primary unit for measuring agricultural land, forests, and large properties worldwide outside the United States. One hectare equals 2.471 acres. A FIFA-regulation football pitch is about 0.7 ha, and Vatican City is 44 ha. This unit is fundamental in agriculture, forestry, environmental conservation, and international land measurement standards.
About Feddan
A feddan (فدان) is the primary unit of land area in Egypt, Sudan, and parts of the Arab world, equal to approximately 4,200 m² (1.038 acres or 0.42 hectares). Its name derives from the Arabic word for 'yoke of oxen,' reflecting its agricultural origins - similar to the British acre. Egypt reports its cultivated farmland in millions of feddan; the fertile Nile Delta that feeds Egypt is measured in feddan. The feddan is subdivided into 24 kirats (each ~175 m²). It remains the legal standard for agricultural land registration in Egypt and Sudan.
