NEFM-Data: Input data for the Nigerian Energy-Food Model (NEFM)

This Data Article houses secondary data, consisting of the available historic and current farm production data in Nigeria such as crop type, yields, prices, crop production inputs’ (e.g. labour, fertilizer, pesticide, seed, cash capital) as well as the Nigerian food consumption, ethanol demand, and international commodity (crop/food) trade (import and export) data. The data were collected from reputable online databases such as FAOSTAT, World Bank, IMF, USDA, NBS, IITA, etc., and through personal research visits to Nigerian government agencies such as Federal and State Ministries of Agricultural and Rural Development, State Agricultural Development Agency (ADP) in Nigeria, National (Nigerian) Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and others; and were assembled, screened, processed (tabulated them according to GAMS table requirements), and applied via General Algebraic Modelling System (GAMS) to analyse the Nigerian Biofuels (bioethanol production) Potential, assessing its policy impacts on domestic (Nigerian) food and energy securities, job creation, rural development, and the economy. Ndukwe Agbai Dick collected all the data, processed and applied them through GAMS to analyse the Nigerian Biofuels Potential during his PhD research studies at Newcastle University, England, between October 2010 and September, 2014. The research visit took place between March 1st and June, 2012. Research findings from the analysis of these data using GAMS have been partly documented in paper titled "Analysis of the Inherent Energy-Food Dilemma of the Nigerian Biofuels Policy using Partial Equilibrium Model: The Nigerian Energy-Food Model (NEFM)", which has been peer-reviewed and recommended for publication with major revisions in a reputable international high impact journal - Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews (RSER). Of course, the NEFM and results generated from it has been peer-reviewed and validated, acceptance for publication, and is now available online on the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews Journal's website - a high impact and reputable international journal with impact factor of 9.184.本数据文章收录二手数据集，涵盖尼日利亚历史与当前可获取的农业生产相关数据，具体包括作物类型、产量、价格、农业生产投入品（如劳动力、化肥、农药、种子、现金资本），以及尼日利亚食品消费、乙醇需求与国际大宗商品（作物/食品）贸易（进出口）数据。本数据集的数据源自FAOSTAT、世界银行（World Bank）、国际货币基金组织（International Monetary Fund, IMF）、美国农业部（United States Department of Agriculture, USDA）、尼日利亚国家统计局（Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, NBS）、国际热带农业研究所（International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, IITA）等权威在线数据库，同时通过实地调研访问尼日利亚联邦及州农业与农村发展部、尼日利亚州农业发展局（ADP）、尼日利亚国家统计局（NBS）等政府机构获取。所采集数据经整理、筛选与加工（按照通用代数建模系统（General Algebraic Modelling System, GAMS）的表格规范进行制表），并通过通用代数建模系统（GAMS）开展分析，以评估尼日利亚生物燃料（生物乙醇生产）潜力，探究其对尼日利亚国内粮食安全、能源安全、就业创造、乡村发展及国民经济的政策影响。该数据集由恩杜克瓦·阿格拜·迪克（Ndukwe Agbai Dick）于2010年10月至2014年9月在英国纽卡斯尔大学攻读博士学位期间完成全部数据的收集、整理与分析工作，其实地调研访问时段为2012年3月1日至2012年6月。基于上述数据通过GAMS分析得到的研究发现，部分已收录于题为"Analysis of the Inherent Energy-Food Dilemma of the Nigerian Biofuels Policy using Partial Equilibrium Model: The Nigerian Energy-Food Model (NEFM)"的学术论文。该论文经同行评审后，建议在权威国际高影响力期刊《可再生与可持续能源综述（Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, RSER）》上发表并需进行重大修订。此外，由该分析生成的尼日利亚能源-粮食模型（NEFM）及其分析结果同样经同行评审与验证，已获期刊录用并正式上线《可再生与可持续能源综述》期刊官网——该期刊为高影响力国际权威学术期刊，影响因子达9.184。
