FEWS NET Crop Statistics Unit Dataset

Short description

The FEWS NET crop statistics unit dataset contains a unique geocode (FNID) of an administrative unit that is linked to the country's boundary at a given point in time. FEWS NET has tracked changes in the names and geometry of administrative boundaries and created a database of historical and current subnational administrative boundaries for a number of countries. The FNID is represented as adm_id and is aligned with the adm_id of the crop statistics dataset.
