Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2015). Food and Agriculture Organization Statistics: Production - Crops | Country: Faroe Islands | Consumer Item: Potatoes | Agricultural Trade Element: Area Harvested, 1961-2010. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 067-001-012. Dataset: Presents statistics on the quantity of crops produced, area harvested, and yield per hectare. Area harvested data is reported in hectares; yield in hectogram/hectare; and production and seed data in tons. Crop production data refer to the actual harvested production from the field or orchard and gardens, excluding harvesting and threshing losses and that part of crop not harvested for any reason. Production therefore includes the quantities of the commodity sold in the market (marketed production) and the quantities consumed or used by the producers (auto-consumption). When the production data available refers to a production period falling into two successive calendar years and it is not possible to allocate the relative production to each of them, it is usual to refer production data to that year into which the bulk of the production falls. Yield refers to harvested production per unit of harvested area for crop products. In most cases, yield data are not recorded but obtained by dividing the production data by the data on area harvested. Data on yields of permanent crops are not as reliable as those for temporary crops because most of the area information may correspond to planted area (eg, grapes), or because of the scarcity and unreliability of the area figures reported by the countries (eg, cocoa and coffee). Presented here are time-series and cross-sectional data from the FAOSTAT database of the Food and Agriculture Organization related to the food supply; forestry; agricultural production, prices, and investment; and trade and use of resources, such as fertilizers, land, and pesticides. As available, data are provided for approximately 245 countries and 35 regional areas from 1961 through the present. The data are typically supplied by governments to FAO Statistics through national publications and FAO questionnaires. Official data have sometimes been supplemented with data from unofficial sources and from other national or international agencies or organizations. In particular, for the European Union member countries, with the exception of Spain, data obtained from EUROSTAT have been used. Data are presented, where available, by country and geographic aggregates, as defined by the United Nations. Category: International Relations and Trade, Agriculture and Food Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Established in 1945 as a specialized agency of the United Nations, the Food and Agricultural Organization’s mandate is to raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural populations, and contribute to the growth of the world economy. Staff experts in seven FAO departments serve as a knowledge network to collect, analyze, and disseminate data, sharing policy expertise with member countries and implementing projects and programs throughout the world aimed at achieving rural development and hunger alleviation goals. The Statistics Division of the Food and Agricultural Organization collates and disseminates food and agricultural statistics globally. http://www.fao.org/ Subject: Cropland, Agricultural Products, Agricultural Commodities, Agricultural Land, Crops
