This map shows various characteristics of Agriculture based on the World Bank Agriculture and Rural Development topic.  The percentage of land that is arable, the percentage of total land that is used for agricultural purposes, agricultural raw material import/exports, fertilizer consumption, and food and livestock production indexes are shown.

Agricultural Land:  Agricultural land refers to the share of land area that is arable, under permanent crops, and under permanent pastures. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded. Land under permanent crops is land cultivated with crops that occupy the land for long periods and need not be replanted after each harvest, such as cocoa, coffee, and rubber. This category includes land under flowering shrubs, fruit trees, nut trees, and vines, but excludes land under trees grown for wood or timber. Permanent pasture is land used for five or more years for forage, including natural and cultivated crops.  Data shown is for 1961 - 2007.

Arable Land:  Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded.  Data shown is for 1961 - 2007.

Agricultural Raw Materials: Agricultural raw materials comprise SITC section 2 (crude materials except fuels) excluding divisions 22, 27 (crude fertilizers and minerals excluding coal, petroleum, and precious stones), and 28 (metalliferous ores and scrap). Note: Merchandise export or import shares may not sum to 100 percent because of unclassified trade.  Data is for 1962 – 2009.
 
Crop Production Index: Crop production index shows agricultural production for each year relative to the base period 1999-2001. It includes all crops except fodder crops. Regional and income group aggregates for the FAO's production indexes are calculated from the underlying values in international dollars, normalized to the base period 1999-2001. Crop production index shows agricultural production for each year relative to the base period 1999-2001. Data shown is for 1961 - 2007.

Food Production Index: Food production index covers food crops that are considered edible and that contain nutrients. Coffee and tea are excluded because, although edible, they have no nutritive value.  Data shown is from 1961 – 2007.

Livestock Production Index:  Livestock production index includes meat and milk from all sources, dairy products such as cheese, and eggs, honey, raw silk, wool, and hides and skins.  Data shown is from 1961 – 2007.

Fertilizer Consumption:  Fertilizer consumption measures the quantity of plant nutrients used per unit of arable land. Fertilizer products cover nitrogenous, potash, and phosphate fertilizers (including ground rock phosphate). Traditional nutrients--animal and plant manures--are not included. For the purpose of data dissemination, FAO has adopted the concept of a calendar year (January to December). Some countries compile fertilizer data on a calendar year basis, while others are on a split-year basis.  Data shown is from 1961 – 2006.
