ACCESS

• The FAOSTAT registered users site can only be accessed with registered email addresses for individual users and registered IP address for site licence users together with their assigned passwords.
• The registered users site cannot be accessed by unregistered users.

USAGE

• The FAOSTAT registered users site provides additional privileges on
  a. the number of records that can be downloaded in subject domain queries
  b. the multi-dimensional queries within and across domains
  c. bulk downloading of data in CSV format
• The increased or unlimited number of records downloadable is available automatically in each subject domain.
• To access the multi-dimensional query and bulk downloading features on the other hand you must go to All Data on the top Menu Bar.
• Once you are in All Data you may go to individual domains which will appear in the lower menu (FBS, Production, Trade, and Resources data) for multi-dimensional queries.
• You may download data in the subject domains also in Excel, CSV or XML format by clicking the download box under the query boxes.
• If you wish to use the bulk download facility you should go to bulk downloads which appear in the lower menu which appears in All Data.

WARNING

• Please be aware that this is a very large database with a total of over 3 billion records. You should therefore refrain from performing unlimited multi-dimensional queries and downloads.
• Large sized queries and downloads not supported by the memory or CPU of your machines may result in long times of executions but also may crash your browser at some point.
• We recommend using multiple queries or the bulk downloading feature for queries with more than 4000 records at a time.
