Agricultural marketing information system: the Philippine experience.

The Agricultural Marketing Information System (AGMARIS) is a joint effort of the Philippines Bureau of Agricultural Statistics and the Agricultural Marketing Improvement Strategies (AMIS) Project of the Bureau of Science and Technology/USAID. It addresses the strengthening of existing agricultural market information services to the private and public sector. Central to the AGMARIS is a systematic approach for assessing and responding to the marketing information needs of farmers and traders in the agribusiness community at the local level, and of Philippine policy makers at the national and local levels. The AGMARIS is a system for collecting, processing, analysing and disseminating marketing information, particularly prices. Data collection involves the selection of sample markets, the types of prices to be collected, the frequency of collection, the sample trade/respondents to be interviewed and the specifications of the commodities to be monitored. Data are collected on wholesale buying and selling prices and on retail prices.
