9. Standardized gross value of production: SGVP: is an index which helps to compare the economical value of different crops regardless in which country or region they are. Wheat is taken as base crop. Basin Scale Analysis Source: Molden, 2001
10. Land Productivity: SGVP/ha Land productivity is highly variable across the basin. Egypt has the highest SGVP/ha , 1830 US$/ha Sudan has the lowest SGVP/ha , which goes down to about 20 US$/ha in Northern Darfur Source: Karimi, P, 2009
12. Water Productivity WP=SGVP/ETa Water productivity variations follows the same pattern as land productivity; highest WP in the Basin belongs to Egypt and the lowest to some Sudanese stats Source: IWMI, 2009
13. Using actual transpiration (Ta) as denominator instead of ETa in WP assessment doesn't change the WP variation magnitude in the Basin . This verifies that the differences in WP across the Nile is more related to yield and furthermore to economic land productivity than to non-beneficial evaporation from croplands.
