HarvestChoice keeps catalogs of both raster and vector maps of sub-Saharan Africa (downloadable in either ASCII or ESRI Shapefile formats) along with their associated datasets. We also provide access to over 400 articles, survey and census reports on agriculture-related topics in support of investment targeting and prioritization decisions.

Agricultural production statistics reported at country or sub-national geopolitical scales are used in a wide range of economic analyses, and spatially explicit (geo-referenced) production data are increasingly needed to support improved approaches to the planning and implementation of agricultural development. However, it is extremely challenging to compile and maintain collections of sub-national crop production data, particularly for poorer regions of the world.
