TL;DR

This dataset contains 54,382 rows from Rwanda Data Sharing Platform - NISR, covering Season A: Household Screening. 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 table presents plot-level screening data on land use and crop characteristics during Season A (September 2023 – February 2024) of the 2023/2024 Seasonal Agricultural Survey (SAS) conducted by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda. Each record represents a specific agricultural plot and the screening information recorded for it by the farming household during the reference season. The table includes details on land use type, anti-erosion activities and their types, agroforestry practices including tree types, land consolidation status, cropping system, and crop-level characteristics such as crop name, category, proportion and density of plot coverage, number of plants for banana crops, and whether the crop was planted and will be harvested during the season. Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, including all provinces and districts, capturing land use and crop characteristics in both rural and peri-urban areas.

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.

• —This repo preserves one source tabular resource with its usable columns kept together.

Schema

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-rwanda-season-a-household-screening-8bbcc329")
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.
