CountrySTAT
 

Welcome to CountrySTAT

CountrySTAT is a national statistical information system for food and agriculture. The system harmonizes and integrates data on food and agriculture coming from different sources. Through a core database, policy makers and researchers can group data across thematic areas - such as production, trade and consumption - in order to study relationships and processes.

FAO forms partnerships with national statistical offices and ministries of agriculture to introduce the system and build national capacity to use it. In each country, the national government makes a substantial contribution to deployment, maintenance and training. In 2005, FAO's Statistics Division introduced CountrySTAT in Ghana, Kenya and Kyrgyzstan. Many other developing and developed countries have shown an interest in adopting it.
