    Introduction
   • Data on agricultural production is one of the foundations of 
    the food balance sheet framework. 
   • Countries not currently collecting agricultural production data 
    should consider first investing their resources in generating 
    reliable data on production.
   • Even countries with highly-developed official survey 
    methodologies may not collect production data on all 
    commodities.
   • So, some suggestions on alternative data sources and 
    imputation strategies are needed.
