Sub National Statistics:
The same domains as the Core with disaggregated data at sub-national level. Data can be disseminated per Geographical Area (Administrative levels), Local Products (a description of local product and its main category is required) and time (Year and/or Month)

How are Statistical Data organized in CountrySTAT
You have enough domains to publish all data with the current tree !

But the CountrySTAT national administrator can add more areas and domains (except for Core and sub-national) to fit your needs:
• Adding other domains than agricultures (transport,
health etc…) ; • Adding more disaggregated data;

Statistics Pillar (Concepts, Definitions and Classifications)
International codes Example of CountrySTAT website table
Statistics Pillar (Concepts, Definitions and Classifications)
A topic of primary importance is the
international codes for commodities
In order to understand and compare data in CountrySTAT framework, coherence is necessary between data of Core and Sub-National domains, with the recommendations of international standards. To do this, it is necessary to find a correspondence of agro-biological characteristics between the various local products related to major products classified by FAO international classification with a correspondence table between the two classifications.
Statistics Pillar (Concepts, Definitions and Classifications)
Two ways of getting the codes:
