3.5. Survey Results
This subsection is devoted to the analysis of the summary findings of the online survey. As
explained in Chapter 1, the main purpose of this survey is to obtain qualitative data on
stakeholders’ perceptions for an improved agricultural trade and policy capacity in OIC member
countries.
The summary analysis presented below builds upon on the completed responses of N = 46
participants, after the partial responses of 15 participants have been disregarded as they are
severely incomplete.
The 46 survey participants are dispersed over 21 OIC member countries, being composed of 3
countries (and 3 participants) from the African group, 10 countries (and 27 participants) from
the Arab group, and 8 countries (and 16 participants) from the Asian group. Around 40% of
these participants are working at relevant ministries in their countries, around 13% of them are
working at other government institutions, and around 9% of them are working at international
organizations and NGOs. A totality of around 35% of participants are working at chambers,
farmers’ associations and other private sector units, and universities.
