# User Guide: Ghana Crop Statistics

## What this repository is

Redistributable crop area, production, and yield tables from Ghana Open Data plus normalized observation tables.

## How to use it

1. Start with `data/dataset_registry.parquet` to understand source coverage, license status, access class, and limitations.
2. Check `metadata/SOURCE_MANIFEST.json` before using any source-specific file.
3. If `data/source/` exists, those files are copied source payloads that passed this release's redistribution gate.
4. If `data/processed/crop_observations.parquet` exists, use it for long-format analysis with row-level provenance.
5. If a row is controlled, restricted, application-required, or unclear-license, use the metadata and source URL to obtain authorization from the original publisher. Do not treat the row as redistributed data.

## Included payload status
