frame sampling ( MFS)
in agricultural
statistics
2. To increase reliability
through using measure
tools instead of
interview
Objectives(continued)
3.
To utilize new
technologies &
instruments such as
RS , GIS & GPS in
producing agricultural
statistics
General spec.
1. Managers of the
project( FAO & BSIT)
2. Duration(20 months)
3. Study area
( Hamadan Province, Iran)
History of the project
1. To figure out crop
forecasting in 1994
through :
• To estimate area of
main crops
• To estimate yield &
production of main
crops
History of the project
(continued)
2. To establish spatial
information system:
• To store data
• To retrieve information
• To share information
• To analyze collected
data
• To recommend an
applied solution
Major findings
1. To evaluate the
capability of
implementing the
proposed method
2. To utilize area frame
based on aerial
photographs & satellite
data
Major findings(continued)
3. To identify the
infrastructure situation
4. To manage information
flow through the system
Recommendations

information, experiences &
findings of the project
among member countries
2. To support the new
projects financially in
member countries
Recommendations
to FAO(continued)
3. To substitute new
technologies such as RS,
GIS in estimating area,
land & crop
4. To use the project
findings in managing the
coming work shops.
Recommendations

infrastructure through
ministry of Jahad-eAgriculture
2. To establish coffee nets
