Pillar 3

Support and follow-up to G20 Matera Declaration

Background

Well-functioning grain and oilseed markets depend on transparent, timely and comparable data. When information gaps exist, uncertainty can trigger price volatility and undermine food-security planning. The Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) already provides a trusted platform for monitoring global supply, demand and trade, but growing market complexity and digital innovation call for upgraded tools and stronger national reporting to keep pace with rapidly changing conditions.

Objective

Enhancing global market transparency to support evidence-based decisions

The initiative aims to modernise the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) so that governments, producers and traders have faster, more reliable data on cereal and oilseed markets. By upgrading the digital platform, strengthening the skills of national focal points and creating user-friendly analytical tools, the project will improve the timeliness and quality of information that underpins early-warning systems, stabilises markets and guides policy actions for food-security resilience.

Activities

Upgrade the AMIS DataHub and introduce an application-programming interface (API) for real-time data submission.
Organise capacity-building workshops for national focal points on crop balance-sheet reporting and quality-control protocols.
Develop user-friendly dashboards that visualise price and policy trends for policymakers and market analysts.
Issue regular “AMIS Insights” briefs that translate incoming data into timely market-outlook messages for G20 and Food Coalition partners.
