In June 2011, the G20 Ministers of Agriculture recognized the importanceof timely, accurate and transparent information in addressing food pricevolatility and policy dialogues, and launched the Agricultural MarketInformation System (AMIS). The system is a collaborative food informationinitiative that unites G20 countries and Spain, as well as seven other mainproducing and consuming countries of the commodities monitored byAMIS (wheat, maize, rice and soybeans). The system serves as a platformthrough which countries, international organizations and the privatesector can work together to strengthen synergies and collaboration inorder to improve data reliability, timeliness and frequency. The project,funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed to contribute tothe initiative by strengthening the AMIS platform globally and with thenational information systems of three selected countries: Bangladesh,India and Nigeria.
