Percentage of irrigated area of land holdings

This indicator measures the percentage of irrigated area for land holdings in Lao. Data comes from the Lao Census of Agriculture 2010/11, the second agricultural census undertaken in the Lao PDR. Since the first in 1998/99, the agricultural sector underwent significant changes. This Census of Agriculture was implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry - MAF (http://www.maf.gov.la/), with support from the Lao Bureau of Statistics (LSB), and collected basic information on crop and livestock production from every household in the Lao PDR. Data are expressed as percentage of the total area of land holdings. Data are available on the Laodecide platform (http://www.decide.la/en/).
