The Crop Domain

You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:

• Period:

  • Start date:

  • End date:

• Geographic*: Filters by crop location. This filter aggregates items into a multi-level lists (e.g., admin 1 units are aggregated into countries, which are aggregated into regions). Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.

• Geo Aggregation*: Filters by type of geographic unit which is a geographic area or point such as a portion of a country or other region delineated for a specific purpose, such as an Administrative Unit (Province, District, County, etc.), Livelihood Zone, or Market.

• Product*: Filters by commodity or service, classified using a modified FEWS NET version of the UN CPC v2. This filters aggregates items into a multi-level lists. Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.

• Indicator*: Filers by a metric of interest and allows for meaningful comparisons over time. The indicator options for the crop domain are area harvested, area planted, quantity produced, and yield.

• Data Source Document*: Filters by the name of the document used as the primary source of information or data.

*You can search using any of the above criteria marked with an asterisk. You can also search, but not filter, by:

• Data Source Organization: The name or unique numeric id of the organization that provided the data source document.

The Table tab for the Crop domain includes the following metadata:

• country: Represents the national, dependent territory, or special area of geographical interest level administrative unit, standardized to ISO 3166 naming.

• source_organization: The organization that provided the source document.

• source_document: The document used as the primary source of information or data.

• fnid: FEWS NET ID, a unique code used to identify a specific geographic unit.

• admin_0: Represents the country level administrative unit.

• admin_1: Represents the first level administrative units.

• admin_2: Represents the second level administrative units.

• admin_3: Represents the third level administrative units.

• admin_4: Represents the fourth level administrative units.

• population_group: The population group for which the crop production indicators are estimated and reported.

• crop_production_system: Explains the system used to produce/grow a certain crop (e.g., Irrigated). Represented as part of the livelihood zone type.

• start_date: The start date of a collection period. For monthly data, this is the first day of the month of the reporting period. For example, data from January 2021 have a start_date of January 1, 2021.

• period_date: The last day of the collection period. For monthly data, this is the last day of the month of the reporting period. For example, data from January 2021 have a period date of January 31, 2021.

• season_name: The name of the particular season at the Locality when the crop was grown.

• season_type: Gives details about a particular season based on weather conditions or happenings at that particular season (e.g., Wet, Harvest, Summer, Spring, Dry).

• population:

• value_per_capita:

• product: The commodity or service classified using a modified FEWS NET version of the UN CPC v2 codes.

• cpcv2: Classification structure of products based on the UN’s Central Product Classification (CPC) rules, prefixed with R, L, P or S, indicating whether the Product is Raw agricultural output, Live animals, a Processed product or a Service, and suffixed with letters where additional distinctions are required by FEWS NET, e.g., to distinguish milled wheat from wheat grain.

• cpcv2_description: A description of the UN CPC v2 code.

• geographic_group: Grouping of countries or regions based on the United Nations Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical (UN M49) Classifications.

• fewsnet_region: Grouping of countries or regions based on the FEWS NET regional Classifications. They are similar to the UN M49 Groups but they use the M49 code values between 900 and 999.

• country_code: The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two letter code for a country.

• collection_schedule: The frequency of the data collections (e.g., monthly or weekly).

• collection_date: Date the records were collected, specified in YYYY-MM-DD format.

• season_date:

• season_year:

• status: The status of a data point value (i.e., Collected, Not Collected, Not Available, Missing Historic Data, Calculated, and Interpolated) for a specific collection period.

• collection_status: The status of a data collection (i.e., Draft, Submitted, Under Review or Published).

• publication_name: The name of the publication associated with the data collection. Typically, this is a publication containing a year's worth of data.

• document_type: The type of Data Source Document (e.g., Market Product, Preliminary Crop Production Estimate, Rapid MUAC, SMART, 30x30). In particular, in the Crop Production domain the Document Type distinguishes between crop:preliminary and crop:final Data Source Documents with the same name.

• area_planted:

• quantity_produced:

• yield:
