About these units
Quintal (Metric) (cwt (m))
The metric quintal, equal to 100 kilograms, is commonly used in agriculture for measuring harvest yields, livestock feed, and bulk commodities such as grains, sugar, and potatoes. Its simplicity makes it popular in countries with strong agricultural sectors. Farmers, traders, and cooperatives find the quintal more intuitive for medium-sized loads than kilograms or metric tons. Though not an SI unit, it remains deeply embedded in agricultural commerce throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Gigagram (Gg)
A gigagram equals 1,000 megagrams, or one million kilograms. It is used in industrial-scale output, national food production statistics, and environmental assessments, such as annual emissions of pollutants. Governments and researchers analyzing natural resource consumption, waste management, or ecological footprints frequently rely on gigagram-level reporting. The Gg sits at the intersection of human-scale systems and planetary-scale studies, offering clarity for large quantities.
