ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Agricultural Market Information Systems Globally and in Selected Countries - GCP/GLO/359/BMG 2019
Also available in:
No results found.In June 2011, the G20 Ministers of Agriculture recognized the importanceof timely, accurate and transparent information in addressing food pricevolatility and policy dialogues, and launched the Agricultural MarketInformation System (AMIS). The system is a collaborative food informationinitiative that unites G20 countries and Spain, as well as seven other mainproducing and consuming countries of the commodities monitored byAMIS (wheat, maize, rice and soybeans). The system serves as a platformthrough which countries, international organizations and the privatesector can work together to strengthen synergies and collaboration inorder to improve data reliability, timeliness and frequency. The project,funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed to contribute tothe initiative by strengthening the AMIS platform globally and with thenational information systems of three selected countries: Bangladesh,India and Nigeria. -

ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Capacity of the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) to Enhance Food Market Transparency - GCP/GLO/1135/JPN 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) was created in 2011 as part of the Group of Twenty (G20) Action Plan on Food Price Volatility and Agriculture. Its principal objectives are to enhance international food market transparency and promote policy coordination in times of market uncertainty. Since its launch, AMIS has become a globally respected source of information on food markets thanks to its regular release of up-to-date, reliable and comparable data. Recent food market shocks, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, demonstrated the value of the system for helping avert major market instability. However, these crises also revealed several areas in which AMIS could progress, most notably in fostering a better understanding of global input markets and expanding the monitoring work of the Secretariat to other commodities. Stakeholders also felt that the existing system needed to be consolidated, for example, by providing technical assistance to the designated focal points in participating countries and enhancing the visibility and impact of AMIS information products. Against this background, the project aimed to strengthen the capacity of AMIS to respond to future food market shocks.

Book (stand-alone)GuidelineFruit sampling guidelines for area-wide fruit fly programmes 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Population survey is a basic component of any area-wide integrated pest management programme. Pest surveillance measures have to be practical, cost-effective and provide reliable information to action programme managers. Fruit fly trapping provides useful information on the presence or absence of the pest, and on its relative spatial distribution and abundance. However, performance and thus effectiveness of trapping systems can be affected by extrinsic factors including changing environmental and ecological conditions. Under certain conditions, fruit sampling becomes a suitable tool for population sampling. For example, at the beginning or end of the fruiting season when fewer mature fruits are still available on the trees, larvae could be more easily detected. Fruit sampling also becomes an important pest detection tool in areas where sterile flies are being continuously released and where low-density trapping is kept to avoid high sterile fly recapture rate and where traps are aimed basically at monitoring the released sterile flies. -
