About
Ranks countries based on their total cultivated land area, which is a combination of arable land and permanent cropland. Arable land refers to land used for crops that require replanting after each harvest, such as wheat and maize. Permanent cropland is cultivated for crops that are not replanted annually, like coffee, fruit trees, and rubber. The dataset also includes data on 'other lands', which encompasses permanent meadows, forests, built-on areas, and barren land. The primary data is sourced from the CIA World Factbook, with additional metrics calculated from this base data.
