About This Statistic
Land, Inputs and Sustainability: Pesticides Use: Pesticide use per area of cropland. Exact FAOSTAT item/indicator, element and other dimensions are recorded in selectedDimensions.
MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2024 FAOSTAT slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
