It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples. ## What This Dataset Measures Agriculture datasets help analysts examine production, prices, inputs, land use, food systems, and rural economic activity. Source-provided context: EOE exports of selected commodities by SITC section Quarterwise for year 2017 ## How To Read This Dataset - **One row means:** one source record from the original tabular resource, with Electric Sheep Africa provenance columns added where available. - **Primary geography column:** `country_iso3`. - **Best time column:** `year`. - **Time coverage basis:** year. - **Recommended join keys:** `country_iso3` where available plus source-specific keys. ## Coverage | Dimension | Value | |---|---:| | Rows | 17 | | Countries/areas | 1 | | First period | 2017 | | Last period | 2017 | | Indicators | 0 | | Columns | 24 | | Source format | XLS | ## Geographic Coverage Top areas shown below, sorted by row count when available: | Area | Rows | First year | Last year | Name | |------|-----:|-----------:|----------:|------| | `MU` | 17 | 2017 | 2017 | `Mauritius` | ## Indicators, Variables, Or Resource Contents - This repo preserves one source tabular resource with its usable columns kept together. ## Schema | Column | Type | Description | Example | |--------|------|-------------|---------| | `source_record_id` | `string` | Stable row identifier assigned during Electric Sheep Africa engineering. | `3a0f5dfd-c450-4e1e-b6d5-729ff3fad762:tab-6:0` | | `country_iso3` | `dictionary` | ISO3 country or area code. | `MU` | | `country_name` | `dictionary` | Country or area name. | `Mauritius` | | `source_sheet` | `string` | Source column from the original resource. | `Tab 6` | | `year` | `int64` | Observation year. | `2017` | | `column_1` | `string` | Source column from the original resource. | `` | | `column_2` | `string` | Source column from the original resource. | `7 - Machinery and transport equipment` | | `iron_and_steel` | `string` | Source column from the original resource. | `` | | `column` | `double` | Source column from the original resource. | `52.0` | | `column_3` | `double` | Source column from the original resource. | `71.0` | | `column_4` | `double` | Source column from the original resource. | `54.0` | | `column_5` | `double` | Source column from the original resource. | `45.0` | | `column_6` | `double` | Source column from the original resource. | `222.0` | | `source_period_start_year` | `int64` | Start year inferred from source metadata. | `2017` | | `source_period_end_year` | `int64` | End year inferred from source metadata. | `2017` | | `source_period_label` | `dictionary` | Source column from the original resource. | `2017` | | `source_provider` | `dictionary` | Publishing organization. | `MDPA` | | `source_dataset` | `dictionary` | Source dataset or package title. | `EOE exports of selected commodities by SITC section Quarterwise for y...` | | `source_resource` | `dictionary` | Source resource title, table name, or file name. | `Source File: EOE exports of selected commodities by SITC section for ...` | | `source_package_id` | `dictionary` | Source package identifier. | `379b52b1-9d80-48a9-a21b-4b795e72cfce` | | `source_resource_id` | `dictionary` | Source resource identifier. | `3a0f5dfd-c450-4e1e-b6d5-729ff3fad762` | | `source_url` | `dictionary` | Original source URL or download URL. | `https://data.govmu.org/dataset/379b52b1-9d80-48a9-a21b-4b795e72cfce/r...` | | `license_id` | `dictionary` | Source license identifier. | `cc-by` | | `retrieved_at` | `dictionary` | UTC source retrieval timestamp from the Electric Sheep Africa pipeline. | `2026-08-08T16:26:20Z` | ## Usage ```python from datasets import load_dataset ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-eoe-exports-of-selected-commodities-by-sitc-section-quarte-6214e28f") df = ds["train"].to_pandas() print(df.head()) ``` ### Inspect Columns ```python print(df.info()) print(df.head()) ``` ### Filter By Geography ```python if "country_iso3" in df.columns: sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "MU"] ``` ### Time-Series Pattern ```python if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns: trend = df.sort_values("year") ``` ### Pivot For Analysis ```python if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns): matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value") print(matrix.tail()) ``` ## Data Quality Notes - Canonical time field: `year`. - Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed. - Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known. - Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use. ## Source And Provenance - **Source:** [MDPA](https://data.govmu.org/dataset/eoe-exports-of-selected-commodities-by-sitc-section-quarterwise-for-year-2017) - **Publisher:** MDPA - **Portal:** [https://data.govmu.org](https://data.govmu.org) - **Resource:** [Source File: EOE exports of selected commodities by SITC section for year 2017.xls](https://data.govmu.org/dataset/379b52b1-9d80-48a9-a21b-4b795e72cfce/resource/3a0f5dfd-c450-4e1e-b6d5-729ff3fad762/download/eoe-exports-of-selected-commodities-by-sitc-section-for-year-2017.xls) - **License:** [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) - **Retrieved/generated:** `2026-08-08T16:52:03Z` - **Hugging Face repo:** [electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-eoe-exports-of-selected-commodities-by-sitc-section-quarte-6214e28f](https://huggingface.co/datasets/electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-eoe-exports-of-selected-commodities-by-sitc-section-quarte-6214e28f) ## Transformations Applied - Converted the source table to Parquet for efficient analytics and ML workflows. - Added or preserved source provenance columns where available. - Standardized README metadata, dataset loading configuration, schema documentation, and citation format. - Preserved source-reported values without analytical imputation. ## Suggested Analyses - Track production or price movements - Compare regions or commodities - Join with climate and trade data - Build time-series views and period-over-period comparisons - Check missingness before modeling - Use `country_iso3` as the safest geography join key when present ## Citation ```bibtex @misc{electric_sheep_africa_africa_mauritius_eoe_exports_of_selected_commodities_by_sitc_section_quarte_6214_2017, title = {Eoe Exports of Selected Commodities by Sitc Section Quarte | Africa (MDPA)}, author = {MDPA}, year = {2017}, url = {https://data.govmu.org/dataset/eoe-exports-of-selected-commodities-by-sitc-section-quarterwise-for-year-2017}, publisher = {Hugging Face Datasets, engineered by Electric Sheep Africa}, howpublished = {\url{https://huggingface.co/datasets/electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-eoe-exports-of-selected-commodities-by-sitc-section-quarte-6214e28f}} } ``` ## License Released under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
