Description:
Proposal for future change in ISIC - Agric - SPC

Request

Proposing to assign more detailed activity codes for "fruit" and "nuts" in 0113 - coconuts are positively ubiquitous throughout the Pacific, often growing wild in such profusion it is difficult to distinguish them from "farmed" ones. So you might have a household putting a lot of effort into "farming" pawpaws (papaya) but they will almost inevitably have a lot of coconuts as well. The inputs and outputs of the 2 crops are quite different, and should be treated separately in theory. Is this achievable? Proposal made for separate classes for "fruit" ,"nuts" and "beverage and spice crops".

Discussion

Proposal to be circulated to the Technical Subgroup for comment. One of six proposals received from SPC; see also registry ID# 589, 590, 591, 592 and 593.

Decision

Pending. To be considered for next revision.
