Crop Yield and Land Use Data for Municipalities in Valle del Cauca

10 columns detail the behavior of transient crop land use in Colombia's Valle del Cauca department. The data includes hectares sown and harvested, crop yield in tons per hectare, total production in tons, crop type, municipality, and year. Published by datos.gov.co, it was last updated in December 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between Hectareas_sembradas and Produccion_toneladas to model crop yield efficiency per municipality.
• Compare Rendimiento_toneladas/hectareas across different Cultivo types to identify high-performing crops in the region.
• Track changes in Hectareas_cosechadas over Año to assess agricultural land use trends and potential abandonment.
• Cluster Municipio areas based on Id_cultivo frequency and production metrics for regional agricultural zoning.

Strengths

• Data covers multiple dimensions with 10 distinct columns including area, yield, production, and location identifiers.
• Includes both human-readable names (Municipio, Cultivo) and machine-readable IDs (Id_municipio, Id_cultivo) for reliable joins.

Limitations

• The total number of records and temporal coverage in years are unknown, limiting assessment of dataset scale.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing verification of data distributions, value ranges, and potential null rates.
