World Beef and Veal Production in 2012

This dataset was derived from information provided by the Australian Government, Department of Agriculture from report 143, World beef and veal production, by country.

In deriving data to create a shape file visualising the information, the following considerations were made: a Carcass weight equivalent. b Excludes Hong Kong. c Regarded as 27 countries. The raw data was sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Livestock Products, Australia, cat. no. 7215.0, Canberra; Meat and Wool Economic Service of New Zealand, Annual Review of the New Zealand Sheep and Beef Industry, Wellington; United States Department of Agriculture, Production, Supply and Distribution Database, Washington DC; United States Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Poultry: World Markets and Trade, Foreign Agricultural Service Circular, Washington DC.

This dataset is used in conjunction with other datasets in The Cube Globe G20 visualisation project. This project provides information on Queensland agriculture through case studies from the horticulture and agriculture industries including fruit and vegetable, sugar and beef exports.

本数据集源自澳大利亚政府农业部（Department of Agriculture, Australian Government）发布的第143号报告《世界牛肉和小牛肉分国产量》中的相关信息。
在为制作该信息的可视化形状文件（Shapefile）而提取数据时，需遵循以下考量规则：a. 以胴体重量当量计；b. 不含中国香港特别行政区；c. 统计范围涵盖27个国家。
原始数据的来源包括：澳大利亚统计局《澳大利亚畜牧产品》（分类号7215.0），堪培拉；新西兰肉类与羊毛经济服务局《新西兰绵羊与肉牛产业年度回顾》，惠灵顿；美国农业部《生产、供应与分销数据库》，华盛顿特区；美国农业部外国农业服务局《世界市场与贸易：畜牧与家禽》（《对外农业服务通报》），华盛顿特区。
本数据集将与"Cube Globe G20"可视化项目中的其他数据集协同使用。该项目通过涵盖果蔬、蔗糖及牛肉出口领域的园艺与农业产业案例研究，展示昆士兰州的农业发展状况。
