Commercial Granadilla Cultivation Suitability Zoning Map for Colombia at 1:100,000 Scale

Colombia's zoning map for commercial granadilla (Passiflora ligularis) cultivation suitability at a 1:100,000 scale. It classifies land into five categories from High Suitability to Legal Exclusion based on physical, socio-ecosystem, and socio-economic criteria. The dataset is hosted on the Colombian open data platform www.datos.gov.co and was last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Classify land suitability (Aptitud) for granadilla cultivation using municipality (Municipio) and department (Departamento) identifiers.
• Calculate total suitable area per administrative unit by aggregating the Área (ha) column filtered by Aptitud category.
• Perform spatial joins or visualizations of suitability zones using the geographic geometry column (the_geom).
• Analyze the distribution of suitability categories (Alta, Media, Baja, No apta, Exclusión legal) across departments using Código departamento.

Strengths

• Provides a detailed five-tier suitability classification (Alta, Media, Baja, No apta, Exclusión legal) based on multiple criteria.
• Includes geographic geometry (the_geom) enabling spatial analysis and mapping.
• Covers national-scale data for Colombia with municipality and department-level granularity (Código municipio, Código departamento).
• Data is available in multiple machine-readable formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Limitations

• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale processing.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and attribute definitions require manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2026-05-18 18:49:35; freshness should be verified against current agricultural conditions.
