The MED-Amin network collaborates with several international organisations, broadening its scope of activities and drawing on a diverse range of expertise to improve understanding of agricultural markets. MED-Amin also participates in a range of international events, contributing to dialogue and cooperation on issues of shared interest.
The Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) is an inter-agency platform to enhance food market transparency and policy response for food security. AMIS actively contributes to MED-Amin’s activities by providing technical expertise and ongoing support, including assistance with the preparation of information notes.
The Joint Research Centre is the science and knowledge service of the European Commission. MED-Amin works closely with the JRC’s AGRI4CAST team, within Unit D.5, Food Security, to produce three early-warning bulletins providing forecasts of cereal crop production across the Mediterranean basin. Machine-learning-based yield forecasting methods are also currently being tested. MED-Amin also collaborates with the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, which is responsible for EU policy on agriculture and rural development and deals with all aspects of the common agricultural policy (CAP).
Since 1949, IGC is a neutral and independent source of market information and analysis to promote greater transparency in international markets and the freest trade possible. L’IGC co-organise avec MED-Amin deux webinaires annuels, réunissant exportateurs et importateurs pour échanger sur la disponibilité du blé (en juillet) et sur sa qualité (en novembre). Plusieurs projets sont en cours, dont la création d’un indice de prix méditerranéen, et le renforcement de l’information sur la qualité des grains.
