  1. CPC Ver.2 Review and Harmonization with Food and Agriculture Statistics in FAO Meeting of the Expert Group on International Economic and Social Classifications (New York, 18-20 May 2011)

  2. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) • Mandate: Food security – to defeat Hunger • FAO data collection: • Food security, nutrition, early warning • Supply and Utilization Account/ Food Balance Sheets • Production and trade of agriculture commodities • Land use, land cover, water resource, land right • Food safety, biodiversity, crop and animal diseases • International coordination for statistical classification • Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics • Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Forest Sector Statistics • Member of UN Water

  3. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) • Mandate: Food security – to defeat Hunger • FAO data collection: • Food security, nutrition, early warning • Supply and Utilization Account/ Food Balance Sheets • Production and trade of agriculture commodities • Land use, land cover, water resource, land right • Food safety, biodiversity, crop and animal diseases • International coordination for statistical classification • Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics • Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Forest Sector Statistics • Member of UN Water

  4. Forestry • FAOSTAT Forestry Commodity List • 80 commodities • Based on HS • Harmonized with CPC at aggregate level • Used for collecting data on production and trade by FAO, Eurostat, UNECE and ITTO (Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Forest Sector Statistics) • Problem • CPC is not sufficiently detailed • Proposal to the EGM • To increase detail following HS (e.g. sawnwood, particle board and oriented strand board, fibreboard, veneer sheets, wood charcoal, wood pellets)

  5. Agricultural Inputs(Fertilizers) FAOSTAT Agricultural Inputs List • 130 among fertilizers, pesticides and machinery • Based on HS Detailed data on fertilizers are crucial to estimate: • Country potential productivity and its effect on food consumption and security • Greenhouse gas emission and agriculture contribution to climate change Problem CPC is not sufficiently detailed Proposal to the EGM To increase detail according to the structure used by HS for fertilizers

  6. Agricultural sector in CPC items related to agriculture 550 items 260 items CPC Ver.1.1 CPC Ver.2 Result FAO intends to implement CPC as reference classification for agricultural production

  7. Agricultural Production(Crops, Livestock ad Derived Products) • Faostat Commodity List • 683 items, of which 220 in the production questionnaire • Problems with CPC • Not sufficiently detailed • Use of different classification criteria • Proposal to the EGM • To endorse the adoption in FAO of CPC expanded as international standard for agricultural production • To review few items’ structure (e.g. eggs, flour and oils) to better meet the needs of agricultural production statistics

  8. Fishery • FAO (CWP) set of classifications used in Fishery and Aquaculture Production and Commodity statistics • Species Taxonomic codes – env. 11,500 species items • ISSCAAP (Aquatic Animal and Plan) Group – 50 groups, 9 divisions • ISSCFC (Fishery Commodities) – env. 1,200 items: • -- linked with SITC, HS, and ISSCAAP • CPC Fishery related items: 15 primary and 32 processed commodities • Problem – as reference aggregation • No separation between aquaculture and capture fishery at primary product level • Separation of live fish and fresh or chilled is not practical • Imbalance in biological aggregation level • Proposal to the EGM • To consider substantial modification including structure: • Separation of Division 04 into two • Additional biological details (e.g. Annex 4/Doc #15)

  9. Summary – Proposal to the EGM • Forestry • To increase detail following HS (e.g. sawnwood, particle board and oriented strand board, fibreboard, veneer sheets, wood charcoal, wood pellets) • Agriculture Inputs • To increase detail according to the structure used by HS for fertilizers • Agriculture Production • To endorse the adoption in FAO of CPC expanded as international standard for agricultural production • To review few items’ structure (e.g. eggs, flour and oils) to better meet the needs of agricultural production statistics • Fishery • To consider substantial modification including structure: • Separation of Division 04 into two • Additional biological details (e.g. Annex 4/Doc #15)
