Abstract:
Sugar Cane map
This crop map is part of global database of harvested area and production for the main food staples (You and Wood, 2006). The map shows derived estimates of the spatial distribution and productivity of crops for 10-km grids using a novel allocation approach involving the fusion of sub-national crop production statistics.
The values in this digital are the number of harvested hectares within each 10 km grid cell. This data includes area harvested in multiple season (therefore this is NOT the physical harvested area, but rather the total area harvested).
IMPORTANT NOTE: the values in this digital map have been multiplied by a factor of 10. This was done to convert decimal values to integers, which can be handled more easily in GIS software
The sub-national crop production data comes from agricultural censuses and surveys and has scaled values, so as to obtain national production estimates that were compatible with the annual average FAO national crop statistics for 1999-2001. The prototype crop distribution database used in this study is available from the authors upon request but is currently being regenerated using newer and additional data sources (including revisions based on expert validation) and an enhanced allocation algorithm. A large share of the sub-national crop production can be downloaded directly from FAO's (2006) Agromaps site at http://www.fao.org/landandwater/agll/agromaps/interactive/index.jsp. |
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
