Commercial Pineapple Cultivation Suitability Zoning for Colombia

Colombia's commercial pineapple cultivation suitability map classifies land into five categories: High, Medium, Low, Not Suitable, and Legal Exclusion. The dataset was produced by applying a zoning methodology at a 1:100,000 scale and published by datos.gov.co. It was last updated in December 2025.

Use Cases

• Classify land Aptitude (High, Medium, Low, Not Suitable, Legal Exclusion) for pineapple farming using geospatial features from The_geom.
• Calculate total suitable Area (ha) for pineapple cultivation aggregated by Departamento or Municipio.
• Join with other datasets using Código Departamento and Código Municipio to analyze regional agricultural potential.
• Map suitability zones (Gridcode, Aptitud) to identify clusters of high-potential land for commercial development.

Strengths

• Contains five detailed Aptitude categories for land classification.
• Provides geographic join keys (Código Departamento, Código Municipio) for integration with other datasets.
• Includes a geospatial geometry column (The_geom) for mapping.

Limitations

• Sample data and total row count are unavailable, preventing assessment of coverage completeness.
• The dataset lacks explicit temporal coverage details for the underlying analysis.
• Data on specific physical or socioeconomic constraints used in the zoning is not included in the provided columns.
