ABSTRACT
The single most important feature about arable land in Central Eurasia is that there is very little. Arable land is land that can be used for agriculture, that is, crop and/or livestock production. The paucity of such land in Central Eurasia is clearly emphasized in the three categories in Map 31. This figure is also deceptive when mapping the percentage of arable land, in our case by country. What the map does not illustrate is the very, very small patches of arable land in much of the region.
