Description

Disaggregated income from irrigated agriculture in Syria

Mapping rural poverty and its links with agricultural resources endowment

Methodology: The agricultural income is a function of the agricultural production, derived from the resource endowment, and the prices of the production. The agricultural resource endowments are quantified thanks to the Agricultural Resource Potential Index (ARI), which is based on three components: - Climate resource index, derived from aridity index and accumulated temperature (annual heat units); - Soil resource index, representing the proportion of suitable soil types; - Topographic resource index, giving the proportion of pixel without topographic limitation. ARI is calculated as the lowest value among these three indices. Price and production data for crops fruits, vegetables and animal products were provided by the Agricultural Production Database of Syria Since this database is available at the scale of agricultural sub-zones (intersection of provinces and "agricultural stability zones"), the agricultural income is also computed for these land units. Spatial disaggregation to pixel resolution is eventually achieved on the basis of ARI. The income generated by irrigated agriculture is weighted by the proportion of irrigated land in the pixels. The unit is Syrian Pounds (SYP) per pixel and per year. Under irrigated conditions the aridity index is ignored. The climate resource index exclusively depends on annual heat units.
