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.

Profitability Calculator

Profitability Calculator

Based on gridcell-level estimates of wheat yields, and response to nutrient application, together with gridcell-specific estimates of fertilizer and wheat prices, this spreadsheet model assesses the profitability of fertilizer application in Ethiopia.

Crop Response Tool

This is a selection of management input scenarios and simulated crop responses for maize, rice, sorghum, wheat, groundnut, soybean, bean, cassava, potato, and yams.

Domain Reporter

Browse and download HarvestChoice spatial data layers for sub-Saharan Africa. Statistics are shown for all countries and level-1 administrative units.

Commodity Dashboard

HarvestChoice Commodity Dashboard provides a one-page view of national time-series and sub-national statistics for 21 commodity groups.

Crop Reporter

Based on the country-level crop production statistics retrieved from FAOSTAT in 2006, this tool instantly shows users the custom ranking across countries and regions in terms of their reported harvest area, production, production value, and yield of major crops.

Yield Target and Poverty Reduction Model for Sub-Saharan Africa

This comparative static model estimates potential yield increases and poverty reduction effects based on user-selected yield closure gap assumptions. A poverty-productivity elasticity (extracted from the relevant literature) and crop-specific adjustments are used to link productivity gains to a lowering of poverty prevalence rates and poverty headcounts compounded over a 20 year period.

Region Dashboard

HarvestChoice region dashboard provides a one-page view of national time-series and sub-national statistics for 52 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Yield Target and Poverty Reduction Model for South Asia

Yield Target and Poverty Reduction Model for South Asia

Comparative static model used to estimate long-term aggregate potential yield gains and aggregate potential poverty reduction effects from narrowing yield gaps for selected commodities in selected regions. The model allows for differentiated yield gap closure and technology adoption scenarios in focus and non-focus countries and for focus and non-focus crops. The model also accounts for varying "poverty-productivity" elasticities across commodities (a synthetic measure linking productivity gains and poverty reduction).

Crop Production: SPAM

Dragging and dropping the red marker (Droppr) to any location in SSA provides information on:
• Country name
