Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS)

What is it?

The Agricultural Market Information System assesses global food supplies and provides an inter agency platform to coordinate international policy during market uncertainty.

Global food price hikes and sudden market volatility can trigger severe economic instability and threaten worldwide food security. When major agricultural trading nations operate in information silos, unexpected supply shortages in critical crops lead to panic buying and disjointed, reactive policy making. AMIS solves this by functioning as a unified, international market monitor. By assembling the principal trading countries and assembling transparent data on the production, consumption, and trade volumes of essential commodities, the platform provides the necessary intelligence to coordinate global policy actions before market uncertainty escalates into a crisis.

Why use it?

Accessing the AMIS platform provides policymakers, commodity traders, and large-scale agricultural enterprises with the definitive, macroeconomic intelligence required to navigate volatile international food markets. By relying on highly transparent, inter-agency data regarding the exact production, consumption, and trade volumes of targeted crops, stakeholders can completely eliminate the guesswork from their strategic forecasting. This unified market monitor acts as an early warning system, drastically reducing dangerous price volatility. Ultimately, utilizing this platform ensures that global supply chains remain stable and that coordinate, evidence-based policy actions protect vulnerable populations from catastrophic food insecurity.

Key Features

• Enhances Market Transparency: Provides a centralized, highly reliable market database to completely eliminate the opacity of international food trade volumes.

• Coordinates Policy Action: Serves as the premier inter-agency platform for G20 members and major trading nations to coordinate strategic responses during market uncertainty.

• Tracks Global Consumption: Consolidates comprehensive data from major exporting and importing countries representing a massive share of global agricultural production and consumption.

Who is it for?

This high level informational platform is built for national policymakers, agricultural ministries, global commodity traders, and international food security organisations.
