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.
Manzana
A manzana is a unit of land area used in several Central American countries, equal to approximately 6988.96 m² (about 0.7 hectare or 1.73 acres).
Originated as a Spanish colonial unit. Standardized at exactly 10,000 square varas (Spanish varas of about 0.836 m each).
Manzanas are still widely used in agricultural records and rural property in Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and some other Central American countries. Used alongside hectares in modern legal documents.
Spanish colonial origin; remains in popular Central American use.
