Crop Data

Context

This is the entire and most recent version of Mozambique agricultural production. It covers the 1999-2022 period, and the spreadsheet includes the following tabs: data, crop, season, admin and production system. There are 6,188 rows. 

Most of the results, except for 2020, are linked to the Ad1 level.  In 2020, Ad1 and Ad2 results are available, therefore, a potential over-lapping of data. Will there be other years coming with AD2 results?

...

One feature of the 2013 Spatial data set that can cause confusion is that multiple Ad2 names/FNIDS in 1990, which have not changed in any way by 2013, have different Ad2 extension codes (E.G. Xai-Xai MZ1990A20213 becomes Xai-Xai MZ2013A20211 in 2013. 

Crop Data

Context

Note that I have included a column titled “Year”, which indicates how Mozambique refers to the ag year  which crosses over the January 1 boundary.  This is end-aligned, or harvest aligned, as all other southern African countries.

Survey type entries include one set of “Alt_crop_final” entries for the case in which FEWS Agro Map data effectively replaced missing Ministry ag survey, or original Ministry survey estimates are considered less reliable than the Ministry’s later re-evaluation and publication of 2000-2010 maize estimates.   I think this file is ready for a review.
