What this measures
Agricultural irrigated land refers to agricultural areas purposely provided with water, including land irrigated by controlled flooding.
Limitations: The data are collected by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from official national sources through annual questionnaires and are supplemented with information from official secondary data sources. The secondary sources cover official country data from websites of national ministries, national publications and related country data reported by various international organizations.. The FAO tries to impose standard definitions and reporting methods, but complete consistency across countries and over time is not possible. Thus, data on agricultural land in different climates may not be comparable.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
