Vegetable Production Per Hectare for Municipalities in Colombia's Cauca Valley, 2016

Production data for 11 different vegetables across municipalities in the Cauca Valley department of Colombia for the year 2016. The dataset, sourced from the Colombian open data portal www.datos.gov.co, includes separate columns for two varieties (a and b) of many crops. It was last updated on the platform in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare per-hectare yields of different vegetable varieties (e.g., Tomate-a vs. Tomate-b, Pimenton-a vs. Pimenton-b) across the listed Municipios.
• Rank municipalities by total vegetable output using columns for Cilantro, Pepino, Pimenton, Lechuga, Habichuela, Arveja, Cebolla-larga, Repollo, Zapallo, Tomate, and Aji.
• Analyze the cultivation prevalence of specific crops (like Ají or Cebolla-larga) versus more common ones (like Tomate or Pepino) across the Cauca Valley region.

Strengths

• Data covers 11 distinct vegetable crops, providing a multi-crop view of regional agriculture.
• Includes separate production metrics for two varieties (a and b) for most crops, allowing for intra-crop analysis.
• Geographic granularity is at the municipality level via the Municipios column.

Limitations

• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality, units, and collection methodology require manual inspection after download.
• Data is from a single year (2016), limiting longitudinal or trend analysis.
