Morphology

high-yielding = yielding (transparent) = high + yield + ing

Formed by adding 'high-' to 'yielding' meaning 'producing a high yield', which is straightforward for learners who know 'high' and 'yield'.

Etymology

High-yielding comes from the simple parts high ('large' or 'a lot') and yield ('to produce' or 'give'), just like when farmers talk about crop 'yield'. So a high-yielding plant or animal is one that 'produces a large amount'.
