FAOSTAT provides time-series and cross sectional  data relating to food and agriculture for some 200 countries. 

The national version of FAOSTAT, CountrySTAT, is being developed and implemented in a number of target countries, primarily in sub-saharan Africa. It will offer a two-way data exchange facility between countries and FAO as well as a facility to store data at the national and sub-national levels.

User dialogue

One of the priorities of the Statistics Division is to involve the producers and custodians of statistics at FAO in a stronger communication with our users, and to gain a better understanding of their needs. Since July 2010 the free FAO data access policy has been implemented. The number of registered users has boomed since then from 400 to over 15 000 as of today.

We are seeking contact with registered users of FAOSTAT to open a qualitative feedback channel. We are looking for your views and experiences in using FAO's statistics as well as specific, technical suggestions. We would very much appreciate receiving your advice.
