Global Crop Production and Yields for Wheat, Maize, Rice, and Soybean

Crop production data from the OECD, measured in tonnes per hectare, thousand hectares, and thousand tonnes. The dataset covers multiple countries and years, focusing on wheat, maize, rice, and soybean. It is sourced from the OECD's data portal on agricultural output.

Use Cases

• Modeling agricultural commodity price fluctuations based on production and yield data.
• Analyzing trends in crop yields per hectare for major crops like wheat and rice across different countries.
• Studying the relationship between macroeconomic factors and crop production patterns over time.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative OECD data portal on agricultural output.
• Includes multiple key metrics: production in tonnes, area harvested in hectares, and yield per hectare.

Limitations

• Row count and specific time range are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
