About the Data

Agricultural land (% of land area)

Long definition
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 (double­cropped 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.

Agricultural irrigated land (% of total agricultural land)

Long definition
Agricultural irrigated land refers to agricultural areas purposely provided with water, including land irrigated by controlled flooding.

Source
Food and Agriculture Organization, electronic files and web site.

Average precipitation in depth (mm per year)

Long definition
Average precipitation is the long­term average in depth (over space and time) of annual precipitation in the country. Precipitation is defined as any kind of water that falls from
clouds as a liquid or a solid.

Food and Agriculture Organization, electronic files and web site.

Land under cereal production (hectares)

Long definition
Land under cereal production refers to harvested area, although some countries report only sown or cultivated area. Cereals include wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats, rye, millet,
sorghum, buckwheat, and mixed grains. Production data on cereals relate to crops harvested for dry grain only. Cereal crops harvested for hay or harvested green for food, feed, or
silage and those used for grazing are excluded.

Food and Agriculture Organization, electronic files and web site.

Fertilizer consumption (% of fertilizer production)

Long definition
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 nutrients­­animal and plant manures­­are 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 split­year basis.

Fertilizer consumption (kilograms per hectare of arable land)

Long definition
Fertilizer consumption measures the quantity of plant nutrients used per unit of arable land. Fertilizer products cover nitrogenous, potash, and phosphate fertilizers (including

Employment in agriculture (% of total employment)

Long definition
Employees are people who work for a public or private employer and receive remuneration in wages, salary, commission, tips, piece rates, or pay in kind. Agriculture corresponds
to division 1 (ISIC revision 2) or tabulation categories A and B (ISIC revision 3) and includes hunting, forestry, and fishing.

General comments
Relevance to gender indicator: Men still make up the majority of people employed in all three sectors, but the gender gap is biggest in industry. Employment in agriculture is also
male­dominated, although not as much as industry. Segregating one sex in a narrow range of occupations significantly reduces economic efficiency by reducing labor market
flexibility and thus the economy’s ability to adapt to change. This segregation is particularly harmful for women, who have a much narrower range of labor market choices and lower
levels of pay than men. But it is also detrimental to men when job losses are concentrated in industries dominated by men and job growth is centered in service occupations,
where women have better chances, as has been the recent experience in many countries. There are several explanations for the rising importance of service jobs for women. Many
service jobs—such as nursing and social and clerical work—are considered “feminine” because of a perceived similarity to women’s traditional roles. Women often do not receive
the training needed to take advantage of changing employment opportunities. And the greater availability of part­time work in service industries may lure more women, although it is
unclear whether this is a cause or an effect.

Agricultural machinery, tractors per 100 sq. km of arable land

Long definition
Agricultural machinery refers to the number of wheel and crawler tractors (excluding garden tractors) in use in agriculture at the end of the calendar year specified or during the first
quarter of the following year. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double­cropped 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.
