Data Generation Methodology
This dataset was synthetically generated using:
Reference Sources:
- FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) - crop yields, production data
- NBS (National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria) - farm characteristics, surveys
- NiMet (Nigerian Meteorological Agency) - weather patterns
- FMARD (Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) - extension guides
- IITA (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture) - agronomic research
Domain Constraints:
- Crop calendars and phenology (planting/harvest windows)
- Agro-ecological zone characteristics (Sahel, Sudan Savanna, Guinea Savanna, Rainforest)
- Nigeria-specific realities (smallholder dominance, market dynamics, conflict zones)
- Statistical distributions matching national agricultural patterns
Quality Assurance:
- Distribution testing (KS test, chi-square)
- Correlation validation (rainfall-yield, fertilizer-yield, yield-price)
- Causal consistency (DAG-based generation)
- Multi-scale coherence (farm → state aggregations)
- Ethical considerations (representative, unbiased)
See QUALITY_ASSURANCE.md in the repository for full methodology.
Use Cases
- Machine Learning: Yield prediction, price forecasting, pest detection, supply chain optimization
- Policy Analysis: Agricultural program evaluation, subsidy impact assessment, food security planning
- Research: Climate-agriculture interactions, market dynamics, technology adoption patterns
- Education: Teaching agricultural economics, data science applications in agriculture
Limitations
- Synthetic data: While grounded in real distributions, individual records are not real observations
- Simplified dynamics: Some complex interactions (e.g., multi-generational pest populations) are simplified
- Temporal scope: Covers 2022-2025; may not reflect longer-term trends or future climate scenarios
- Spatial resolution: State/LGA level; does not capture micro-level heterogeneity within localities
