Expert Consultation on Livestock Statistics

Expert Consultation on Livestock Statistics
Bangkok, Thailand, 8 - 11 July 2003

BACKGROUND

The Expert Consultation on Livestock Statistics was held at the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) in Bangkok, Thailand, on 8 - 11 July 2003. It was attended by nine experts of specialised areas in livestock statistics; an officer of ESCAP of the United Nations, officers of the Food and Agriculture Organization, Bangkok and Rome.

The Expert Consultation was convened following the recommendation made at the Nineteenth Session of the Asia and Pacific Commission on Agricultural Statistics (APCAS), held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, in October 2002, that FAO should provide updated guidelines for the collection; analysis and dissemination of agricultural sector data and that countries should collect information about livestock in agricultural censuses.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this expert consultation was to provide a forum for experts to:

  • contribute to the improvement of livestock statistics in the Asia and Pacific Region for improved planning and monitoring of the livestock sector;
  • review and discuss FAO's recommendations and national methods and practices for producing and disseminating statistical data on livestock;
  • discuss methodologies for collecting data on livestock numbers and parameters with particular concern for nomadic and semi-nomadic livestock;
  • discuss methodologies for estimating livestock products.

Presentations were made on "Livestock Sector Data in Policy", "Estimation and Forecasting of Livestock Sector Parameters" and "Analysis and Dissemination of Livestock Sector Data".

DOCUMENTS
