Ambitious databases on the Americas and Caribbean
AgroInfo Americas is a set of free agricultural and livestock databases accessible by the Internet, which is also of interest to other regions. The databases are designed to provide users in the Americas and Caribbean with access to timely, relevant and practical trade and market information, so that they may better compete in the rapidly changing world market. The databases are arranged under seven general headings. Links to related agricultural Websites are also provided. This ambitious Website is being developed by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA), Caribbean/Latin American Action (C/LAA) and Texas A&M University. Planned features include an agricultural supply, demand, trade and price database; Online Analytical Processing (OLAP), which will be supported by SAS Decision Support Software; environmental impact, Geographical Information System (GIS); and a trade and tariff database. Another useful planned feature is the automated web page maker, which will allow creation of web pages without the need for programming skills. Perhaps the most user-friendly aspect is that information from AgroInfo Americas' databases will also be available by radio or fax for people without Internet access.
