Abstract / Summary

This dataset showcases the material flow of crops in Barbados between 1961 to 2019. This dataset provides a summary of crop material flows within a region, including domestic extraction, trade balance, and consumption. It captures the quantity of crops harvested locally, the net imports or exports through physical trade, and the overall domestic material consumption—representing the total crops available for use within the region.
