District Level AgCensus Crop
The AgCensus - Crop dataset available on the Agricultural Census website of the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare, Government of India provides detailed information on the characteristics of agricultural holdings in India. The dataset includes information on the size of holdings, land use, irrigation, crops grown, livestock, and other important characteristics of agricultural holdings in India. Some of the variables included in this dataset are:
- Size of holdings (in hectares)
- Land use (e.g. area under cultivation, fallow land)
- Irrigation (e.g. type of irrigation, sources of irrigation water)
- Crops grown (e.g. cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables)
- Livestock (e.g. number and types of animals)
Agriculture Census (Crop) dataset captures the structure and characteristics of agriculture land holdings in India and cropping pattern for 253 crops. An operational agricultural land holding is the fundamental unit for building effective policy decision in agricultural development. The dataset covers the indicators on total area, irrigated area and number of operational holdings, and it is disaggregated across social group, farmer size class and farmers group.
