1. Crop Information PortalAgriculture Information SystemBuilding Provincial Capacity for Crop Forecasting and EstimationInternational Conference on Innovative Agricultural FinancingApril 28-29, 2015 at Hotel Serena, IslamabadDay 1 – Tuesday 28 April 2015 Session B: Digital platforms in building data-ecosystem for agri-financeMr. Muhammad Iftikhar BhattiGeneral Manager (RS & GIS), SUPARCO
2. BackgroundThe Crop Information Portal is a component of the Agriculture Information System (AIS) of Pakistan.The AIS project concerns the improvement of the capacity of provincial governments to timely collect, analyze and report on agricultural information.The Portal allows WEB users to access the historical archive and the latest produced crop and agro-meteorological data, integrated with satellite based information into a GIS like environment.http://dwms.fao.org/~test/
3. FactsheetMajor crops currently included are: wheat (RABI) maize, sugarcane, rice and cotton (KHARIF)Crop data: area, production, yield (annual)Agro-met indicators: 10 day averages for max and min temp, precipitations, daylight length and NDVISpatial resolution: district, province and countryTemporal extent: 1999-current dateOutputs: maps, charts, tables, reports
4. FactsheetImplemented by FAO, SUPARCO and USDABased on open source technologies and international geospatial standardsWeb graphical interface for generic users interactionWeb graphical interface (login) for administrators managing data and running processesCurrently, one national instance at SUPARCO and 2 provincial instances at Lahore (CRS Punjab) and Karachi (CRS Sindh)
5. Portal Main User Interface
6. Portal modulesCrop Data Explorer: set filters, area of interest and time period and produce outputs such as tables, charts and choropleth maps Agro-Meteorological Data Explorer: set filters to extract statistics on variables such as temperature, precipitation, decadal NDVI, etc..) as data or charts Crop Health Status: agromet variables compared to the requirements of a selected crop in a selected growing season Map Composer: WEB mapping application based on International standards allowing local or remote datasets to be displayed and analyzed in a GIS like environment
7. Example of useTask: chart annual trend of wheat data in 3 districts of PunjabCrop data can be retrieved and analyzed using the graphic interface on the left. The system allows users to: Select output typeGenerate time-series charts (Chart) Filter available crops by season (Rabi)Select area of interest Type: Group of District (from list or by clicking on map)Identify crop of interest (wheat) Select time interval for the averaging (2000-2012)Select Units of Measure (default)RESULTS
8. Example of useTask: chart annual trend of wheat data in 3 districts of Punjab

10. Main BenefitsOne shop access to historical data on annual crop production, harvested area and yield and seasonal trend of agro-met variablesHarmonization of data currently scattered at national and local institutions, in various formats and unitsImprovement in data managementStandardization, minor effort in data merging and reduction of errorsImprovement in data accessAbility to easily generate customized charts, maps and reports based on subsets of data stored in primary DBImprovement in CRS’s regular crop reportingCustom charts and maps can be generated and extracted for a rapid enrichment of monthly bulletins with ancillary data
11. Training Workshop on Crop Information Portal and GeoNetwork software. 20-31 Jan 2014.FAO and SUPARCO organized a two week training workshop in Islamabad:Jan 20-23: Administrating the Crop Information Portal Jan 24-27: Using the Crop Information Portal Jan 28-31: GeoNetwork opensource software 11Nineteen experts from Crop Reporting Services of Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan; from the Agriculture Universities of Tandojam and Faisalabad and from SUPARCO
12. Up coming Updates Based on user feedback, collected during trainings and workshops the portal is being enhanced to incorporate the following dataset and functionalities Main groups of updates are:Filtering: Scalable charting and user defined data seasonal limits for Agromet/NDVI data. Data: Include data on fertilizers, irrigation water and market prices; also, include alternative crop data estimates. Charting: Compare alternative areas or crops in one chart; the choice of different chart types (lines, bars, pies etc..); the choice of user defined units of measure (e.g. acres for areas), and more.These updates will be implemented by the end September 2015. Such development is currently on going.The next slides summarize some of the most exciting updatesThe finalization of this second version of the Portal is estimated for the end of May 2015.
