Aggregations and Groupings

In order to provide the user with maximum ease in building reports, the following aggregates and groupings are available in FAIS data.

 

 


Commodity aggregates


Commodities are divided into two groups: CEREALS and NON-CEREALS. This classification is mutually exclusive, i.e. each commodity falls either in one group or the other. Some generic items do not include sub categories (e.g. the item “Dried fruits” does not include “Dried fruits Dates”, “Dried fruits Figs”, “Dried fruits Pears” or “Dried fruits Raisins”).

Donor aggregates


The donor list includes countries (governments) and three groupings: NGOs, PRIVATE donors and OTHERS. No further details are provided on the website on donations from NGOs and the private sector. The group of OTHERS includes the International Governative Organizations and all the other donors that are neither governments nor NGOs nor private sector.
 

 


Recipient Groups

 

All recipients are grouped by geographical area. The geographical regions are mutually exclusive; each recipient country is included in one and only one group and none is excluded.
