What Agricultural Land % Measures

Agricultural Land % is a comparative indicator tracked across countries by the World Bank. It provides a quantitative basis for cross-national comparison, enabling researchers and policymakers to benchmark national performance on this dimension against global peers.

Why This Ranking Matters

Examining Agricultural Land % across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.

Global Range

Regional Patterns

African countries dominate this ranking, holding 11 of the top 20 positions. This strong regional concentration suggests shared economic, geographic, or policy factors that drive higher values across the continent.

Values are broadly distributed across countries, with the middle 50% ranging from 17.949 to 54.009. The overall spread from 0.45 to 86.476 reflects significant global variation.

Notable Outliers

The top of the ranking is competitive: Côte d'Ivoire and Turkmenistan are separated by only 3%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data.
