TL;DR

This dataset contains 12,067 rows from Rwanda Data Sharing Platform - NISR, covering Season C: Screening Crops. 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 crop screening information collected during Season C (July – September 2022) of the 2021/2022 Seasonal Agricultural Survey conducted by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR). Each record corresponds to an agricultural plot and captures detailed information on land use and crop presence during the reference season. The dataset includes plot identification and size, land use type, cropping system, number of main crops per plot, and detailed crop-level characteristics such as crop name and category, proportion and density of plot coverage, banana plant counts where applicable, planting status, expected harvest status, and harvesting period. Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, including all provinces and districts, covering both rural and peri-urban agricultural areas. Time Period: Season C of the 2021/2022 agricultural year (July – September 2022).

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-c-screening-crops-14c8ff0d")
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.
