14%

$\huge \underline \mathcal \color{red} {Explanation:}$

Stocks harvested by the farmer in the previous year = 450

Stocks harvested by the farmer in the following year = 513

Increase in the production = 513 - 450

= 63

Percentage of increase =

$\frac{no. \: of \: increased \: stocks}{original \: stocks} \times 100\%$

$= \frac{63}{450} \times 100\%$

$= \frac{6300}{450} \%$

$= 14\%$
