Data notes & caveats
Displayed rows are nations; aggregate and non-nation territory/SAR rows are excluded where they appear in World Bank WDI. Values are comparable within the selected WDI series, year and unit. Row-level final-status flags were not available, so no claim is made that every observation has final status.
Methodology
Values are ranked in descending order from the World Bank WDI series Arable land (% of land area), using 2023 values measured in percent. Regional, income-group and other summary totals are excluded so rows represent WDI nations. Because no cross-row total is supplied, the chart uses raw values only and omits concentration shares.
Source consistency notes
Rows use one World Bank WDI series, the 2023 period, one unit and the same descending ranking basis. The underlying source references carry the nation identifier, WDI series identifier and year.
