Note: The methodology used to derive estimates of land with rainfed crop production potential is explained in Chapter 4. Given the limitations of the basic data, the estimates in this table should be interpreted with care.
*In some countries the balance may be negative. For an explanation see Chapter 4.^†MS: marginally suitable; S: suitable; VS: very suitable. Class AT5 contains the areas considered marginally suitable in classes AT2, AT3 and AT4. ^‡Including irrigated and hyperarid land.^§Land-in-use in the different classes aggregated using the following weights: 1.0 for AT3, 0.31 for AT1, 0.88 for AT2, 0.85 for AT4, 0.35 for AT5, 0.81 for AT6, 0.35 for AT7 and 2.2 for irrigated. These weights roughly reflect potential cereal yields. The thus weighted land-in-use is more comparable over countries than the unweighted total (see also Chapter 2, note 11).
