Reference product: vanilla [kg]
Location: RoW - Rest-of-World
This global dataset is a copy of the regional MG dataset, except for the following modifications.
The production volume represents the global annual production.
The geographicalCorrelation score of every pedigree matrix of was changed to '5'.
Yield of the global dataset = 750 kg/ha, calculated as a weighted average of the regional yields.
The comments below were part of the MG regional dataset.
This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of vanilla. The average yield from 2013 is 750 kg/ha. The data are representative for vanilla production in Madagascar used for the export market. No mineral NPK fertiliser are applied. No organic fertilisers are applied. No pesticides are applied.
The dataset was modelled within the project 'World Food LCA database (WFLDB)'. The aim of this project was to provide inventories of a broad variety of agricultural products and processes and to cover for each product at least 50% of the global export market. The export share of vanilla produced in the Madagascar could not be assessed within this project. The production system regarded in this dataset aimed at representing vanilla produced in the Madagascar for the export market.
PEF-Quality: data quality rating (DQR) = 2.7 (i.e. good quality). This dataset refers to an average situation; for specific situations exchanges might differ substantially due to site specific parameters
[This dataset has been generated using the system model "Allocation, cut-off by classification". A system model describes how activity datasets are linked to form product systems. The allocation cut-off system model subdivides multi-product activities by allocation, based on a physical properties, economic, mass or other properties. By-products of waste treatment processes are cut-off, as are all by-products classified as recyclable. Markets in this model include all activities in proportion to their current production volume.
Version 3 of the ecoinvent database offers three system models to choose from. For more information, please visit: https://www.ecoinvent.org/database/system-models-in-ecoinvent-3/system-…)]
