Zimbabwe ZW: Agricultural Land
ZW: Agricultural Land data was reported at 162,000.000 sq km in 2015. This stayed constant from the previous number of 162,000.000 sq km for 2014. ZW: Agricultural Land data is updated yearly, averaging 128,800.000 sq km from Dec 1961 (Median) to 2015, with 55 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 164,500.000 sq km in 2008 and a record low of 109,850.000 sq km in 1961. ZW: Agricultural Land data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Zimbabwe – Table ZW.World Bank.WDI: Land Use, Protected Areas and National Wealth. Agricultural land refers to the share of land area that is arable, under permanent crops, and under permanent pastures. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded. Land under permanent crops is land cultivated with crops that occupy the land for long periods and need not be replanted after each harvest, such as cocoa, coffee, and rubber. This category includes land under flowering shrubs, fruit trees, nut trees, and vines, but excludes land under trees grown for wood or timber. Permanent pasture is land used for five or more years for forage, including natural and cultivated crops.; ; Food and Agriculture Organization, electronic files and web site.; Sum;
