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

Request

ISIC 0111 is too broad, eg. in the Pacific swamp taro farming is completely different from growing manioca. Certainly in Australia there are major differences between wheat farming and rice farming in terms of the activities involved. It seems odd to me that they appear to be lumped together because of the similarity of their outputs as "cereal products". There are some really different products AND processes all lumped together in 0111.

Discussion

Proposal to be forwarded to the Technical Subgroup for comment. One of six proposals received from SPC; see also registry ID# 473, 589, 591, 592 and 593.

Decision

Pending. To be considered for next revision.
