The AFRICA CROP PRODUCTION LEVEL tool allows users to explore the current crop production levels in Africa. The tool lets users to map the rainfed, irrigated and average production level for 19 crops. Users can select the desired crop, define the area of interest and obtain the current production values.

The data used here comes from HarvestChoice, 2011. “Agricultural production, yield and harvested area (2000).” International Food Policy Research Institute, Washington, DC., and University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN.
