International Agriculture Crop & Livestock Data (FAOSTAT)

FAOSTAT provides time-series and cross sectional international data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations relating to food and agriculture for some 200 countries. It will soon support a national version, CountrySTAT, for a number of target countries, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.

Major contents include: commodities by country, countries by commodities, countries ranked in the world by commodity, food production, trade, food supply, supply utilization accounts/food balance domain (e.g. production, trade, feed & seed, waste, other utilization, consumption, quantities, calories, proteins, fats), food security, food prices, resources, forestry, fisheries, country data.

U.S. Crop Production (USDA-NASS)

USDA Crop Production Annual Summary (1941-present)

These reports contains annual U.S. data for acreage, yield, and production by crop for grains and oilseeds, sugar crops, cotton, tobacco, and others ranging from 1941 to present. Information on area planted and harvested, yield, and production is provided by type of crop, as well as the planted and harvested area, yield, and production of crops in the U.S. cumulatively. An annual crop summary and annual weather summary is also included at the end of the report.

U.S. & Canadian Livestock Production (USDA-NASS)

USDA Meat Animals Production, Disposition, and Income Annual Summary (1936-present)

These reports provides the annual balance sheet and income estimates for cattle and hogs in annual reports dating from 1936 to present. Releases prior to 2012 also include estimates for sheep. Statistics included are estimates of beginning and ending inventories, births, deaths, inshipments, marketings, and ending inventories; also total production and marketings in pounds, average prices, value of production, cash receipts, home consumption, and gross marketings by state and U.S., for previous years.

Commercial Fish Caught (PacFin)

Commercial Landed Catch: Metric Tons, Revenue, Price/Pound (1981-present) (Pacific Northwest)
Washington, Oregon and California (W-O-C) All Species Report 307. Commercial Landed Catch: Metric Tons, Revenue, Price/Pound
Note: All reports are formatted for 132 columns.
Fishery and Aquaculture Statistics (International)
The FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department provides advice and objective information to Members to help promote responsible aquaculture and fisheries. To fulfil this role, the Department compiles, analyses and disseminates fishery data, structured within data collections.
Oregon Historic Salmon Fishery (Commercial Troll & Sport)
Includes: Recreational Selective Coho Season Updates, Current Year to Date Salmon Catch and Effort Estimates, Historic Recreational Fishery, and Historic Commercial Troll Salmon Fishery.

Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) (United Nations Statistics)

These are statistical resources by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

AQUASTAT
AQUASTAT is FAO's global information system of water and agriculture developed by the Land and Water Development Division of FAO. AQUASTAT provides users with comprehensive statistics on the state of agricultural water management across the world, with emphasis on developing countries and countries in transition.
CountrySTAT
A national statistical information system for food and agriculture. CountrySTAT harmonizes and integrates data on food and agriculture coming from different sources. Through a core database, policy makers and researchers can group data across thematic areas -- such as production, trade and consumption -- in order to study relationships and processes.
FAOSTAT
The FAO Statistical Database is an on-line multilingual database currently containing over 1 million time-series records from over 210 countries and territories covering statistics on agriculture, nutrition, fisheries, forestry, food aid, land use and population.
FAOSTAT-Agriculture
Provides statistics on crops, livestock, irrigation, land use, fertilizer, pesticide consumption, and agricultural machinery.
FAOSTAT-Fisheries
Provides statistics on fish production and primary products.
FAOSTAT-Forestry
Provides statistics on imports and exports of woods and paper.
Fishery and Aquaculture Statistics
The FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department provides advice and objective information to Members to help promote responsible aquaculture and fisheries. To fulfil this role, the Department compiles, analyses and disseminates fishery data, structured within data collections.
Forestry Country Profiles
Forestry Country Profiles contain statistics on forest and forestry issues on a country by country basis including forest cover, plantations, volume and biomass and fires.
GLIPHA
The Global Livestock Production and Health Atlas (GLiPHA), is a user-friendly, highly interactive electronic atlas using the Key Indicator Display System (KIDS) developed by FAO. The atlas provides a scaleable overview of spatial and temporal variation of quantitative information related to animal production and health through the combination of maps, tables and charts.
PAAT Information system
The PAAT secretariat combines the forces of FAO, WHO, IAEA, and OAU/IBAR to promote integrated trypanosomiasis control through coordinated international action. The ultimate goal is to improve food security and sustainable agricultural and rural development.
TERRASTAT
Land resource potential and constraints statistics at country and regional level. Statistics are based on various small scale maps and inventories that were not always up to date, reliable or both.
