The shaded areas of the map indicate ESCAP members and associate members

The Centre for Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization (CSAM), is a regional institution of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), based in Beijing, China. CSAM started operations in 2004, building on the achievements of the Regional Network for Agricultural Machinery (RNAM) and the United Nations Asian and Pacific Centre for Agricultural Engineering and Machinery (UNAPCAEM). CSAM serves the 62 members and associate members of ESCAP.

The vision of CSAM is to achieve production gains, improved rural livelihood and poverty alleviation through sustainable agricultural mechanization for a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable Asia and the Pacific.

The Secretariat of the Asian and Pacific Network for Testing of Agricultural Machinery (ANTAM) is based at CSAM. CSAM is the executing agency of ANTAM. The ANTAM Secretariat assists and coordinates the operation of the network, and provides necessary logistical and administrative support.

The designations used and the presentation of the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of the ESCAP Secretariat concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Any mention of firm
