2. INDICATORS FOR CONTINENTS AND REGIONS
This Section provides an overview of the state of
agricultural land in different continents/regions. Data has been
organised in two alternative ways. The first four tables of the
section present spatial and temporal comparisons among economic
groups, continents and regional groups. These tables bring together
average data for 1998-2000 to reveal the current status of the group
and the growth rate for the period 1989-1991 to 1998-2000 to reveal
how the indicator was behaving over the total period. The second
set of tables presents indicators for continental and regional groups
at three points of time, namely average for the periods 1989-1991,
1994-1996 and 1998-2000 to supplement conclusions drawn from the
first set.
