Usage 

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-monthly-production-of-food-crops-in-protected-cultures-soi-d3aea346")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns 

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography 

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "MU"]

Time-Series Pattern 

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis 

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

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
  • Pivot to geography x period or indicator x period matrices
  • Check missingness before modeling
  • Use country_iso3 as the safest geography join key when present
