FAO Agriculture Production Normalizer
Clean, analysis-ready crop-production data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAOSTAT). Retrieve production, yield, or harvested-area observations for one or more countries and commodities, with normalized labels, consistent units, deduplication, and year-over-year change calculations.
Why this Actor
FAOSTAT data is authoritative but its coded dimensions and inconsistent raw exports slow down research. This Actor resolves FAO codes to human-readable names, standardizes units, preserves provenance, and adds comparable year-over-year percentage changes.
Input parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
areaCodes | string | Comma-separated FAO area codes (231 United States, 229 United Kingdom, 68 France, 5000 World) | 231,229 |
itemCodes | string | Comma-separated item codes (15 Wheat, 56 Maize, 27 Rice) | 15,56 |
elementCodes | string | 5510 Production, 5419 Yield, 5312 Area harvested | 5510 |
startYear / endYear | integer | Inclusive year range | 2018 / 2023 |
maxResults | integer | Maximum records | 100 |
Example input
{"areaCodes":"231,229","itemCodes":"15,56","elementCodes":"5510","startYear":2018,"endYear":2023,"maxResults":100}
Example output
{"area":"United States of America","item":"Wheat","element":"Production","year":2023,"value":49500.0,"unit":"tonnes","previousYearValue":...,"yearOverYearPercent":...}
