About
A detailed record of rice production for various countries around the globe, this data spans from 1961 to 2021. As rice is a staple food crop for many nations, this information can reflect significant national events such as famines or floods. The data captures the annual production volume, measured in tonnes, and indicates whether the figures are official or estimated, offering a long-term perspective on agricultural output and food security.
Columns
- Area: The country where the rice production was recorded.
- Year: The year of the data record, ranging from 1961 to 2021.
- Unit: The metric used for measuring rice production, which is consistently 'tonnes'.
- Value: The total amount of rice produced, measured in tonnes.
- Flag: An encoded value indicating the status of the production figure (e.g., 'A' for official).
- Flag Description: A detailed explanation of the flag, clarifying whether the production figure is an 'Official figure' or an 'Estimated value'.
