Change in maize climate suitability from baseline to 2050

This maize suitability raster dataset, with a pixel resolution of 1 x 1 km, covers the Lower Mekong Basin. The suitability of pixels in the region was assessed for six crop species: Cassava, Robusta Coffee, Maize, Rainfed Rice, Rubber, and Soya based on a comparison of land and hydrological conditions to the requirements of the different crops. This was achieved via the application of a modified version of the Land Use Suitability Evaluation Tool (LUSET) (developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)) and run for both current conditions and for predicted 2050 conditions. USAID Mekong ARCC worked with IRRI to modify the LUSET tool and apply it to produce these datasets.
