Africa Crop Cassava - Harvested Area

Retirement Notice: This item is in mature support as of April 2025 and will be retired in December 2026. New data is available for your use directly from the Authoritative Provider. Esri recommends accessing the data from the source provider as soon as possible as our service will not longer be available after December 2026. Cassava (Manihot esculenta) also known as manioc in South America, is grown world-wide in tropical and sub-tropical regions providing an important staple for the diet of over half a billion people. It is drought tolerant and grows well in marginal soils. More than half of the world"s cassava production is from Africa and Nigeria is the world"s largest producer. In Ghana, cassava accounts for roughly 30% of the calories eaten. The root of the cassava plant must be prepared to remove harmful compounds prior to eating. Dataset Summary This layer provides access to a5 arc-minute(approximately 10 km at the equator)cell-sized raster of the 1999-2001 annual average area ofcassava harvested in Africa. The data are in units of hectares/grid cell. TheSPAM 2000 v3.0.6 data used to create this layerwere produced by the International Food Policy Research Institute in 2012.This dataset was created by spatially disaggregating national and sub-national harvest datausing the Spatial Production Allocation Model.
