Global Map of Irrigation Areas

Central African Republic

Area equipped for irrigation is 135 ha [CF01]. The most recent statistics refer to year 1987. No sub-national statistics on irrigated area were available. Irrigated area was distributed to 6 projects with known location and command area as derived from the FAO irrigation project database for Africa [CF02]. Total command area reported for the six schemes was 160 ha and was therefore scaled to meet the country-totals of 135 ha.
