Zero yields #49

Closed bwbush closed 11 years ago

bwbush commented 11 years ago

Several regions have zero yield for commodity crops

  1. CAN
  2. E Asia
  3. Mala
  4. R Eur

or fiber

  1. Japan
  2. R Eur

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to add some generic default values here.

My understanding is that if I put generic yields there and the region has a demand for that commodity then the model will start trying to produce that commodity locally instead of just maintaining imports. I don't think this makes sense because factors like climate we are not modeling should prevent local growth. For example, rice in CAN.

I will double check these though to make sure that this is the issue in all instances of zero yield.

I see how this makes sense. We'll have to document this somewhere.
