Agricultural machinery(tractors) of countries along the Belt and Road(1961-2009)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

The data set records one belt, one road, 65 countries, 1961-2009 years of agricultural machinery (tractor) quantity and other relevant data. Agricultural machinery refers to the number of wheeled and tracked tractors (excluding horticultural tractors) used in agriculture at the end of a specified calendar year or the first quarter of the following year. Data source: Food and Agriculture Organization, electronic files and web site. Agricultural machinery reduces labor intensity, reduces hard labor, alleviates labor shortage, improves productivity and timeliness of agricultural activities, improves effective utilization of resources, increases market access, and helps reduce climate related hazards. In the future, agricultural machinery will play a greater role in ensuring the environmental sustainability of agriculture.

The data set contains two data tables: Agricultural Machinery (tractors per 100 square kilometers of arable land), agricultural machinery (number of tractors).
