About the indicator

The share of agricultural land in total land area: arable land, land under permanent crops, and permanent meadows and pastures. High values often come not from crop-growing countries but from pastoral ones — vast semi-desert rangelands formally count as agricultural land.

Important: The aggregate for country groups is weighted by land area.
