Overview
Abstract
The general objective of CSA's Agricultural Sample Survey (AgSS) is to collect basic quantitative
information on the country's agriculture that is essential for planning, policy formulation, monitoring and
evaluation of mainly food security and other agricultural activities. The AgSS is composed of four
components: Crop Production Forecast Survey, Meher Season Post Harvest Survey (Area and
production, land use, farm management and crop utilization), Livestock Survey and Belg Season Survey.
The specific objectives of Meher Season Post Harvest Survey are to estimate the total crop area, volume
of crop production and yield of crops for Meher Season agriculture in Ethiopia. The report is based on
private peasant holdings in rural sedentary areas of the country and part of companion reports on the
performance of agriculture in the country. The report is compiled at regional and zonal level.

Scope
Notes
The scope of annual Agricultural Sample Survey included:
- Area identification and characteristics of agricultural holder's. This included household's geographic
locations, holder's age, holder's sex and educational status.
- List of fields and agricultural practices for pure stand and mixed crops.
- List of permanent crops and number of tress.

Coverage
Geographic Coverage
The 2010/11 (2003 E.C.) Annual Agricultural Sample Survey (Meher season) covered the entire rural
parts of the country except the non-sedentary population of three zones of Afar & six zones of Somali
regions.
To be covered by the survey, a total of 2,280 Enumeration Areas (EAs) were selected. However, due to
various reasons that are beyond control, in 25 EAs the survey could not be successful and hence
interrupted. Thus, all in all the survey succeeded to cover 2,236 EAs (98.5 %) throughout the regions.
The Annual Agricultural Sample survey (Meher season) was conducted on the basis of 20 agricultural
households selected from each EA. Regarding the ultimate sampling units, it was intended to cover a
total of 45,600 agricultural households, however, 44,871 (98.3 %) were actually covered by the survey.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
SAMPLING FRAME
The list containing EAs of all regions and their respective households obtained from the 1999 E.C
cartographic census frame was used as the sampling frame in order to select the primary sampling units
(EAs). Consequently, all sample EAs were selected from this frame based on the design proposed for
the survey. The second stage sampling units, households, were selected from a fresh list of households
that were prepared for each EA at the beginning of the survey.
SAMPLE DESIGN
In order to select the sample a stratified two-stage cluster sample design was implemented. Enumeration
areas (EAs) were taken to be the primary sampling units (PSUs) and the secondary sampling units
(SSUs) were agricultural households. The sample size for the 2010/11 agricultural sample survey was
determined by taking into account of both the required level of precision for the most important estimates
within each domain and the amount of resources allocated to the survey. In order to reduce
non-sampling errors, manageability of the survey in terms of quality and operational control was also
considered.
All regions were taken to be the domain of estimation for which major findings of the survey are reported.
SELECTION SCHEME
Enumeration areas from each stratum were selected systematically using probability proportional to size
sampling technique; size being number of agricultural households. The sizes for EAs were obtained from
the 2007 E.C Population and Housing census frame. From the fresh list of households prepared at the
beginning of the survey 20 agricultural households within each sample EA were selected systematically.
Estimation procedure of totals, ratios, sampling error and the measurement of precision of estimates (CV)
are given in Appendix-I and II respectively. Distribution of sampling units (sampled and covered EAs and
households) by stratum is also presented in Appendix-III.
Response Rate
A total of 2,280 Enumeration Areas (EAs) were selected. However, due to various reasons that are
beyond control, in 25 EAs the survey could not be successful and hence interrupted. Thus, all in all the
survey succeeded to cover 2,236 EAs (98.5 %) throughout the regions. The Annual Agricultural Sample
survey (Meher season) was conducted on the basis of 20 agricultural households selected from each EA.
Regarding the ultimate sampling units, it was intended to cover a total of 45,600 agricultural households,
however, 44,871 (98.3 %) were actually covered by the survey.
Questionnaires
Overview
The 2010-2011 annual Agricultural Sample Survey used structured questionnaires to collect agricultural
information from selected sample households.
List of forms in the questionnaires:
- AgSS Form 2003/0: It contains forms that used to list all households in the sample areas.
- AgSS Form 2003/1: It contains forms that used to list selected agricultural households and holders in
the sample areas.
- AgSS Form 2003/2A: It contains forms that used to collect information about crops, results of area
measurements covered by crops and other land uses.
- AgSS Form 2003/2B: It contains forms that used to collect information about miscellaneous questions
for the holders.
- AgSS Form 2003/4: It contains forms that used to collect information about list of temporary crop fields
for selecting crop cutting plots.
- AgSS Form 2003/5: It contains forms that used to collect information about list of temporary crop
cutting results.

N/A
households by interviewing the selected agricultural holders and physically measuring their fields to
obtain data on crop yields and other items of interest.
The data obtained were recorded in various forms designed for this purpose. Instruments like measuring
tape; compass, kitchen balance, scientific calculators, GPS ( Oromiya region only) and others were used
during data collection for a timely and smooth acquisition of accurate data. The procedures for
measuring area under crop and area of non - crop fields operated by the holders were performed for the
30 selected households from each sampled E.A. using measuring tapes and compasses as well as GPS.

Data Editing
Editing, Coding and Verification
Statistical data editing plays an important role in ensuring the quality of the collected survey data. It
minimizes the effects of errors introduced while collecting data in the field, hence the need for data
editing, coding and verification. Although coding and editing are done by the enumerators and
supervisors in the field, respectively, verification of this task is done at the Head Office.
An editing, coding and verification instruction manual was prepared and reproduced for this purpose.
Then 66 editors-coders and verifiers were trained for two days in editing, coding and verification using
the aforementioned manual as a reference and teaching aid. The completed questionnaires were edited,
coded and later verified on a 100 % basis before the questionnaires were passed over to the data entry
unit. The editing, coding and verification exercise of all questionnaires took 18 days.
) Data Entry, Cleaning and Tabulation
Before data entry, the Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment Statistics Directorate of the CSA
prepared edit specification for the survey for use on personal computers for data consistency checking
purposes. The data on the edited and coded questionnaires were then entered into personal computers.
The data were then checked and cleaned using the edit specifications prepared earlier for this purpose.
The data entry operation involved about 70 data encoders, 10 data encoder supervisors, 12 data
cleaning operators and 55 personal computers. The data entered into the computers using the entry
module of the CSPRO (Census and Survey Processing System) software, which is a software package
developed by the United States Bureau of the Census. Following the data entry operations, the data was
further reviewed for data inconsistencies, missing data etc. by the regular professional staff from
Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment Statistics Directorate. The final stage of the data
processing was to summarizing the cleaned data and produce statistical tables that present the results of
the survey using the tabulation component of the PC based CSPRO software produced by professional
staff from Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment Statistics Directorate.
