Fig. 2: Yield potential, average farmers’ yield, and exploitable yield gap for irrigated and rainfed rice in Africa at the climate zone level.

From: Intensifying rice production to reduce imports and land conversion in Africa

Fig. 2

Panels show (A, B) yield potential, (C, D) average farmers’ yield, and (E, F) exploitable yield gap (as a percentage of attainable yield) for (A, C, E) irrigated and (B, D, F) rainfed rice across 15 rice-producing countries in Africa. See Methods for yield potential simulation and yield gap estimation. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. The base map was applied without endorsement using data from the Database of Global Administrative Areas (https://gadm.org/).
