Book (stand-alone)General interest bookSpecial report: 2021 FAO Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to the Syrian Arab Republic - December 2021 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Erratic weather conditions across most of the Syrian regions, especially in the main cereal producing areas of the country in 2021 raised the need for an assessment based on well-established and recognized criteria to produce crop estimates comparable with previous assessments. In response to the request by the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic to conduct an analysis of the agricultural production in the 2020/21 crop season, in light of critical weather conditions, difficult economic environment exacerbated by other challenges, the FAO carried out an independent Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) to estimate the 2021 cereal production, to assess the overall situation of the agricultural sector and to gauge prospects for the upcoming 2021/22 season. Given the travel restrictions, the mission relied on the network of resilience officers employed by the FAO Country Office that have detailed knowledge of local agricultural conditions and agro-ecological zones based across the different governorates. The field information collection took place between June and July 2021. Information was also provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform (MAAR) and several other relevant ministries and state bodies as well as by provincial departments of agriculture. -

DocumentTechnical reportCommodity exchanges in Europe and Central Asia. A means for management of price risk
FAO Investment Centre. Directions in Investment No. 5
2011Also available in:
No results found.This study discusses commodity exchanges in the European and Central Asian (ECA) region as a tool for risk management. There are well over two-hundred entities active in the region that call themselves “commodity exchange” (and many more registered commodity exchanges that are no longer active) but most exchanges would not be recognized as such by people familiar with commodity exchanges as they exist in Europe and the Americas. Exchanges resemble wholesale markets or merely act as a mechanism f or registering commodity transactions for taxation purposes. This study does not aim to provide a comprehensive overview of all such exchanges but rather focuses on exchanges that provide explicit risk management tools and discusses how the offer of risk management tools (particularly for agriculture) by such exchanges can be improved. -
