The unit of measure for large land areas (7)

I believe the answer is:

hectare

(Other definitions for hectare that I've seen before include "Some land in France" , "Metric land area" , "Metric unit of area" , "Metric measure of area" , "Amount of ground" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
