Macroeconomics

The "Macroeconomics" subsystem aims to provide information on changes in the main macroeconomic aggregates of the ECOAGRIS member countries, and in particular to monitor changes in macroeconomic aggregates of agricultural production in the broad sense, including crop production, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture, and forestry.

Process and scheme for collecting and processing data for the "Macroeconomics" subsystem

In general, all the indicators retained in the "Macroeconomics" subsystem of the ECOAGRIS system are already regularly and generally annually monitored by the Ministries in charge of economic and financial issues, in particular through the National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) or similar bodies in charge of economic statistics and the sectorial ministries in the field of agriculture in the broad sense as defined above. At the end of each year, the collection sheets should be shared with the relevant national statistical offices and sectorial ministries.

The main outputs of the indicators of this subsystem will be figures and percentages. In particular, monetary values should be expressed in US dollars (US$) in order to facilitate regional comparison and consolidation.
