What is the Belize Agriculture Information Management System (BAIMS)

The Belize Agriculture Information Management System (BAIMS) is a web-based application that serves as a central repository for all agriculture data. Data are used by farmers and policy makers to analyze agriculture data for proper timely decision making. BAIMS was developed by a local company, KYN Consulting from Corozal Town.

What Happens When a Farmer Registers!

A farmer who is registered under the Belize Agriculture Information Management System (BAIMS) is assigned a Farmer ID that is recognize by the Ministry of Agriculture. A Farmers ID is issued to a farmer after an Agriculture Officer registers the Farmer and visits the farm to collect and verify data.

Why is the data important?

Data obtained is crucial for the objective analysis of the agriculture sector’s contribution to the socio-economic development of Belize that includes GDP, national accounts and employment. The information received will also be used to:

  • Accurately identify farmers
  • Accurately identify farms by georeferencing their location
  • Project the demand and supply of products,
  • Link production to markets using the Virtual Trading Platform
  • Better deliver services to the farming community

In addition, the Ministry will take advantage of the technology available through Geographic Information Systems analysis to:

  • Use spatial data to evaluate, monitor and manage crop resources
  • Improve climate risk management which includes the rapid response and support to farmers in times of natural disaster
  • Design appropriate drainage and irrigation infrastructure
  • Implementation of disease surveillance systems
  • Monitor land use changes
