How to use 产量

产量 is used for the output of factories, farms, mines and industries, often with verbs like 提高 (tígāo, raise) or 增加 (zēngjiā, increase). Example: 今年的粮食产量提高了。(Jīnnián de liángshi chǎnliàng tígāo le.) This year's grain output went up.

产 (chǎn) means to produce, as in 生产 (shēngchǎn), and 量 (liàng) means amount, as in 大量 (dàliàng). Put them together and you get the amount produced, which is output.

Common mistake: Learners often read 量 here as liáng, the verb meaning to measure. In 产量 it is always liàng, fourth tone, meaning quantity. Also, 产 is third tone (chǎn), not chàn.
