2003 to 2009  (Previous release)

Enhanced data and new information on North American agriculture are now available on the North American Tripartite Committee on Agricultural Statistics (NATCAS) website.

The site now contains tables with detailed data on people and production, international trade and the horticulture industry in Canada, Mexico and the United States. In all cases, data cover the years 2003 to 2009 inclusive. In addition, maps and tables comparing selected data from each country's Census of Agriculture are included. Methodological documents explaining the concepts and methods behind the data are also available on the site. Finally, users will find additional information about NATCAS and links to other relevant agricultural web sites for all three countries.

The tables and maps display data originally published separately by the three countries. The site provides a single, convenient place for data users to compare aspects of the agriculture industry.

This is a joint initiative among agricultural statistics agencies in Canada, Mexico and the United States. The committee works to promote the sharing of information and standardization of data among the three countries and their various agencies.

Member organizations include Statistics Canada's Agriculture Division; the Agricultural and Fisheries Information Service of the Mexican Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries, and Food; the Mexican National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics; and the US Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service.

The tables, maps and other information are now available online (http://webpage.siap.gob.mx).

Definitions, data sources and methods: survey numbers, including related surveys, 3407 and 3416.
