It's not good enough.
And it sure as hell does not give a clear picture, as hiking prices would have the exact same effect than production efficiency.
And from this graph, you have no way of distinguishing which reason it actually is.
That's why it is a wrong metric to choose.

What would you prefer? Corn or wheat yields as a proxy?

Overall yield, either average or median of all grown crops, in tonnes or calories, for example.
To show efficiency, possibly along with water usage needed and normalized per square kilometer.
