| Cultivated Land: This includes all land used for crops production. | |||||||||||
| Forests and Wooded Land: Includes land used permanently (for five years or more) to grow forest. Permanent meadows and pastures on which trees and shrubs are grown should be recorded under this heading only if the growing of forest trees is the most important use of the area and it is used as a source for wood or to protect land from erosion, such as pine, oak, cypress, and carob | |||||||||||
| Area of Permanent Cultivated Land : This signifies land used for crops occupying it for long periods of time and which do not have to be planted for several years after each harvest. Land under trees and shrubs producing flowers, such as roses and jasmine is so classified, as are nurseries (except those for forest trees, which should be classified under forest and other wooded land). Permanent meadows and pastures are excluded. | |||||||||||
| Area of Temporary Cultivated Land: It’s includes all land used for crops of less than one-year growing cycle, which must be newly sown or planted for further production after the harvest. | |||||||||||
| Area of Irrigated Cultivated Land: An area of land that is normally provided with water other than rain for the purpose of improving production. | |||||||||||
| Area of Rain-fed Cultivated Land: It refers to agricultural land that relies mainly on rain for irrigation. | |||||||||||
|
Value of Agricultural Production of Cultivated Land: The market value of plant products assuming farm gate prices. These products do include also the intermediate products like green forages, straw, and cereals. |
|||||||||||
|
Area of Permanent Cultivated Land Per Capita: The result of Area of permanent cultivated land divided by number of population in m2 |
