agribenchmark– understandingagricultureworldwide • Our core competence:Production systems and their economics, drivers and perspectives • An expert network which started in 2002 >>> more than just data • Global, non-profit, independent >>> credibility • Standardised methods >>> global comparability The Agenda MSP, Ottawa
Why global farm-level benchmarking? • We are all directly or indirectly linked via markets and product flows • Decision making is done by millions of producers every day • It needs an approach in close cooperation with producers • On global scale there is a lack of comparable farm data • Collecting and comparing this data and information assists in • Understanding agriculture worldwide • − Know where a certain farm type is • − Learn why a certain farm type is where it is • − Conclude what can be changed to develop / adjust to changing framework conditions The Agenda MSP, Ottawa
Target groups and relevance The Agenda, MSP Ottawa
agri benchmark data and services Hotline for specific questions on agri benchmark data and current developments in global agriculture • Specific projects, for example • how to increase labourproductivity in rice? • costs of forage production? Global and country-specific sector information and time series analysis of production, farm structures, prices and trade The Agenda MSP, Ottawa
Analysis and projects • Comparative global analysis of • Productions systems • Economics (cost of production, prices, profitability) • Policy analysis (what-if) • Farm strategy analysis (what-if) • Emission analysis (+ environmental indicators) • Close cooperation with producers and advisors The Agenda MSP, Ottawa
Unique features of agri benchmark • Production systems approach>>> more than financial data and reasons behind differences • Cooperation with producers and advisors>>> get the story behind the data • Global coverage>>> big players and emerging economies • Using standardised methods world-wide>>> global comparability • Works in countries without / with limited statistics and accounting>>> global comparability • Expert knowledge>>> access local expertise and overcome language issues The Agenda MSP, Ottawa
