Source: World Resources Database, 1994-1995; except fertilizer consumption (FAO, Agrostat/PC) and % of GDP (World Bank).
Irrigated land data are from World Resources Institute, World Resources 1996-1997.
Pesticide consumption data are scarce and therefore not included, although pesticides admittedly are an important input to monitor.
