The downloadable file is a combination of many sources with the aim to generate long time series for homogeneous crops. The crop classifications follow the WAGR nomenclature for crops provided by the same author. In general, the statistics were created as follows: 1. National Statistical Organisations, if not available then 2. FAO CountryStat, if not available then 3. FAO AgroMaps The National Statistical Organisations who provided agricultural production statistics were: Ghana: Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) Burkina Faso: STATISTIQUES AGRICOLES AU BURKINA FASO (AGRISTAT) Benin: Ministère de l’Agriculture de l’Elevage et de la Pêche (MAEP) Marc Müller marcmolinero@gmail.com FAO CountrySTAT Italy marcmolinero@gmail.com http://www.fao.org/economic/ess/ess-capacity/countrystathome/en/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Homepaqge of FAO CountrySAT FAO AgroMaps http://kids.fao.org/agromaps/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Homepage og FAO AgroMaps Ministry of Food and Agriculture Ghana http://mofa.gov.gh/site/?page_id=1044 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Directorate for the Upper East Region, Crops Subsector Sub-national crop production statistics Statistiques agricole au Burkina http://agristat.bf.tripod.com/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link AGRISTAT Agricultural production statistics from 1984/85-2005/2006 https://wascal-dataportal.org/geonetwork/srv/eng/resources.get?uuid=40254eaa-c3c2-42a8-8649-0dd4b77575f4&fname=type_datasets.png large_thumbnail png crop production harvest yield (agricultural) economy GEMET - Concepts, version 2.4 2010-01-13 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.gemet Benin Burkina Faso Ghana Togo Region 2006-09-22 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.place.regions This data is licensed under ODC Open Database License (ODbL) http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/summary/ Citation: Müller, M.

This makes it necessary to account for differences in crop classifications, definition and changes of administrative units, and series length. The principle was to: 1.Use national statistics whenever possible 2. Compare with international data providers (e.g. CountryStat) for overlapping years 3. Select the series with closest match for missing values It has tobe noted that data services are often project based and may be discontinued (e.g. AgriStat, AgroMaps). Also, updates from data providers may change entries for past years Classification for Agricultural Products (WAGR) Classification of sub-national administrative units
