Countries with the Lowest Percentage of Arable Land

Also, no data for Nauru, Kosovo, South Sudan, and Tuvalu.

Should be added to the list. I guessed two of those.

I guessed 4 of them

I thought Nauru would be on this list for sure.

They are obviously top of the list at 0.00%, so should they just be put there?

Doesn't Vatican have gardens. And wouldn't they count on this list. Given the small area, there is probably no need for more to not be on this quiz.

Singapore.

Montenegro seems hard to believe; just had a look at googlemaps on sattelite view and there seems to be way more than 0.65% being farmed there.

A presentation from Biotechnical Faculty of University of Montenegro has it at 1,900 km2 or almost 14%.

What about Denmark (Greenland)?

Jetpunk very rarely include Greenland in any of Denmarks statistics.

Which is weird, cause it doesnt come up under its own statistics either. It like they are trying to make it disappear. (unlike northkorea, which is trying to make itself disappear)

Yeah, that would help. A few of the answers really surprised me until I saw your explanation.

Cocoa doesn't count I guess. I saw a fascinating piece from Vice on this and how they are trying other crops - farmers just want to be paid, they don't care about the crop. This makes more sense now, because they can't just grow anything.

Farmers are locked into whatever is marketable and transportable. They might be able to grow anything but unless a market and system of transporting the goods to market exists, it does them no good. I could grow 100 acres of brussels sprouts, but without a veggie packing plant in my area that needs them to fill orders, or a fleet of trucks to ship them to a distant packing plant, what would I do with them? Unlike manufacturing plants which can hold their goods, most farm products are perishable. Even dried grains are in danger of insect and rodent infestation or mold during storage.

I used to live in Bahrain and have driven the perimeter of the country multiple times. Where were they hiding all this farmland? There's a tree in the desert there that's a major tourist attraction because nothing else around is even alive.

Monaco and Vatican aren't counted, says that in the description. I guess Liechtenstein has more than 1.64% farmland.

Malta is so small though that you just need a few large gardens to reach 2%.

Liechtenstein lies in the upper Rhine valley, much of it is quite flat.

@bezz, because the quizmaker didnt go to all the countries and measured the land by hand.. He got his info from a source. And in that list there is no data for monaco and vatican like is stated in the description at the start of the quiz so I dont see why you would have to discuss how arable or not monaco is.

This was surprisingly hard!

What about Maldives?
