Description

This pull request adds a new national-level dataset for Morocco derived from FAOSTAT (QCL domain: Production – Crops and Livestock Products). The dataset covers 1961–2023 and includes yield (t/ha), production (t), and harvested area (ha) for seven major crops: wheat, barley, maize, green maize, rice, soybean, and sugarcane.

Main Updates

  • Created new folder: data_preparation/crop_statistics_MA/
    • Added data file: crop_yield_morocco_national.csv
    • Added README.md describing source, format, and license
    • Added script: faostat_qcl_morocco_to_cybench.py (FAOSTAT → CY-Bench format)
  • Updated root README.md: Added Morocco row in Deciphering crop names table

Notes

  • Data source: [FAOSTAT QCL]
  • License: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO
  • ADM level: National (adm_id = MA-NAT)
  • Prepared following CY-Bench data card template; upcoming work will extend to ADM1 regions (e.g., Casablanca-Settat, Fès-Meknès).
