Synopsis (short abstract) In June 2011, the G20 Ministers of Agriculture recognized the importance of timely, accurate and transparent information in addressing food price volatility and policy dialogues, and launched the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS). The system is a collaborative food information initiative that unites G20 countries and Spain, as well as seven other main producing and consuming countries of the commodities monitored by AMIS (wheat, maize, rice and soybeans). The system serves as a platform through which countries, international organizations and the private sector can work together to strengthen synergies and collaboration in order to improve data reliability, timeliness and frequency. The project, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed to contribute to the initiative by strengthening the AMIS platform globally and with the national information systems of three selected countries: Bangladesh, India and Nigeria.
