| Article I of the constitution indeed requires the Organization to collect, analyse, interpret and disseminate information relating to nutrition, food and agriculture (the term "agriculture" and its derivatives includes forestry, fisheries and aquaculture). The first session of the FAO Conference in 1945 provided the rationale: "If FAO is to carry out its work successfully it will need to know where and why hunger and malnutrition exist, what forms they take, and how widespread they are. Such data will serve as a basis for making plans, determining the efficacy of measures used, and measuring progress from time to time". Member countries reaffirmed this mandate in 2000 when formulating the Organization's strategic thrusts for the 2000-2015 period: Corporate Strategy E1 commits the Organization to building “an integrated information resource base, with current, relevant and reliable statistics, information and knowledge made accessible to all FAO clients. | 1 |

| Coherence - cross domain: Cross domain coherence is fairly good with respect to production, trade, producer prices and land use. However, the domain coherence varies depending on which products and countries are for consideration. | Coherence - internal: It is expected that the internal coherence is checked by countries before sending production and trade data to FAO. | 1 |

| Countries are responsible for transmitting data which have already been checked. Validation at FAO concerns any transmission errors and data consistency as well as detecting outliers. Other validations concerns assessing how far the current value is from the earlier data, consistency of totals and partial components and correspondence between variables from different data sets, e.g. between milk production and live animals producing milk. | 1 |

| For shorter time periods reasonably good comparability over time can be expected as there is stability in the product definition and classification. However, as the time series are very long (from 1961) full comparability over time can not be expected. | 1 |

| The main source is official statistics from FAO member countries. Exceptionally, unofficial data are also used as well as estimated/imputed data. In both cases this is "flagged". Data are recorded as countries report them, except for eliminating obvious errors. The source data can originate from surveys, administrative data and estimates based on expert observations. Which type of source is used by countries affect significantly reliability and comparability of data. | 1 |

| The main users are FAO analysts, other international organizations, ministries and government agencies, agro-industry, trade and professional associations, research institutes and universities, journalists and general public. The objectives of these users vary, but agriculture production statistics are especially useful for market management/monitoring, production forecasts and policy-making in agriculture and food. FAO is not aware of unmet needs. | 1 |

| The quality of data varies considerably between countries. There are no routines for accessing the quality, except for some input validation. Ideally, sample surveys should be representative of at least 95% of the total area and land under that crop. Surveys on production or yields should be conducted using statistically recognized methods as regards quality, objectivity and reliability. Up till now FAO has not been in the position to ensure such quality requirements of the data submitted by countries. More information on metadata and certain validation procedures at country level is certainly needed; | 1 |
