Area is in thousand hectares, production in thousand tonnes and yield in kg per hectare unless a column states otherwise. Units are given in the column names, and district names are spelt the same way in every table. The figures are aggregates and contain no personal information. The dataset is useful for policymakers, planners, researchers and analysts studying crop production, input use and agricultural development in Odisha.
