TL;DR

This dataset contains 27,198 rows from Rwanda Data Sharing Platform - NISR, covering EICV5 (VUP): Land and agriculture (2). It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples.

What This Dataset Measures

Agriculture datasets help analysts examine production, prices, inputs, land use, food systems, and rural economic activity.

Source-provided context: Summary: This microdata table contains information on land and agriculture collected in the fifth Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey, known as EICV5 (Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des ménages). A main cross-sectional sample survey, a panel survey and a VUP (Vision Umurenge Programme) sample survey were conducted simultaneously; this microdata table relates to the VUP sample survey. Geographic Coverage: National coverage (Rwanda), including rural and urban households and allowing province- and district-level estimation of key indicators. Data are disaggregated up to the district level. Time Period: The EICV5 survey was conducted over a 12-month cycle from October 2016 to October 2017. Data collection was divided into 10 cycles in order to represent seasonality in the income and consumption data.

How To Read This Dataset

• —One row means: one source record from the original tabular resource, with Electric Sheep Africa provenance columns added where available.
• —Primary geography column: country_iso3.
• —Best time column: not detected.
• —Time coverage basis: source metadata period.
• —Recommended join keys: country_iso3 where available plus source-specific keys.

Schema

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-rwanda-eicv5-vup-land-and-agriculture-2-752a7ce1")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "RWA"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• —No canonical year/date column was detected in the packaged table; use source metadata and domain context for temporal interpretation.
• —Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• —Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• —Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.

Transformations Applied

• —Converted the source table to Parquet for efficient analytics and ML workflows.
• —Added or preserved source provenance columns where available.
• —Standardized README metadata, dataset loading configuration, schema documentation, and citation format.
• —Preserved source-reported values without analytical imputation.

Suggested Analyses

• —Track production or price movements
• —Compare regions or commodities
• —Join with climate and trade data
• —Check missingness before modeling
• —Use country_iso3 as the safest geography join key when present
