Eurostat, the JRC-Ispra, DG VI and FAO jointly organized an expert consultation meeting on crop yield forecasting methods in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, from 24 to 27 October 1994. These proceedings include the scientific papers which were presented during the conference, a synthesis of the round-table discussions and some additional presentations. These proceedings constitute an exhaustive review of the newest methods on crop yield forecasting.

Extract: This manual assembles information on mathematical modeling concerning crop yields for domestic and foreign users of crop statistics. In providing technical assistance to countries in the collection of agricultural data, measuring crop yields is important for decisions affecting imports and exports, as well as recommending ways of improving crop techniques. Major emphasis is placed on forecasting of current-year yield per acre prior to harvest. This publication could serve as a basis for training courses as well as a reference manual for countries developing or modifying agricultural data systems. It is important to emphasize, however, that this manual is not expected to serve as a training module without an instructor or consultant experienced in crop sampling and yield modeling.

Timely and reliable agricultural production forecasts are critical to make informed food policy decisions and enable rapid responses to emerging food shortfalls. Sub-Saharan Africa is subject to highly variable yield, production and consumption, occasioned by high climate variability, rapidly increasing populations, and limited financial capacity. This review examines the current status of the remote sensing (RS) tools, products, methodologies and data that can help to improve agricultural crop production forecasting systems.
