Short Training Course on Agricultural Cost of Production Statistics Data collection vehicles: towards and integrated agricultural survey system Short Training Course on Agricultural Cost of Production Statistics

1 – General recommendations Ensure quality at all levels: conception, data collection, processing, data analysis and dissemination A permanent quality monitoring program and continuous improvements Test all data collection tools and methods before launching the data collection operations. Have a complete and up-to-date farm records. Disseminate widely and freely data and metadata. Develop and maintain linkages between statisticians, respondents and data users.

2 – Choice of the data collection method (1/2) Mainly depends on : Objective(s) of the analysis Budgets and financial resources Human resources and technical expertise Legal requirements Existing strategic frameworks or policies.

2 – Choice of the data collection method (2/2) Source: Handbook of cost of production statistics, page 25

3 – Questionnaire design: general information Questions need to be designed according to: Respondent’s capacity to answer the questions, related to his level of education/literacy The level of detail and sophistication of farm records. Cross-checking the responses allows to verify and validate the information provided by the respondent: eg. Consistency in fertilizers input per ha, etc. A first data check on the field by the enumerator helps reduce the major part of errors related to the complexity of the questionnaire.

3 – Key parameters of a data collection strategy Sector coverage : which enterprises and which activities. Geographical coverage: national or sub-national Frequency of the data collection Observation, analysis and sampling units -> The choice of a unit of observation is crucial : It shall determine the data quality (is the the respondent able to answer?), the data comparability and reusability (in household surveys, for example) Reference period: crop year, calendar year, quarter, etc.

4 – Choice of the data collection frequency Mainly depends on : The variability of the phenomenon: annual production cycle, stable agricultural practices, etc. The existence of regulatory requirements, national or international, that are dictating the frequency to adopt. The line with the practices of the statistical agency: the habit of undertaking an annual survey… The line of the available human and financial resources : for instance, do they allow to undertake a specific annual survey or only every second or third year? The implication in terms of the respondent burden : are the respondents already involved in one or in several surveys?

5 – Specific CoP surveys (1/2) Also called stand-alone surveys: the objective is to undertake a survey focused on the topic of cost of production. Main advantages include : A better targeting and a better coverage of the population of interest. A sampling procedure adapted to the objective of the CoP estimate, and possibly less complex than the multiple objective surveys. A survey period adapted to the farmers practices. A better training of the enumerator on the CoP topics, which usually involves complex concepts.

5 – Specific CoP surveys (2/2) The main drawbacks are: Like any other additionalsurvey, it results in: Additional costs A logistical and organisational challenge An additional respondents burden. Difficulty in ensuring consistency between the various concepts used in the various surveys This lack of integration affects: Data comparability The possibilities of reuse and crossing with other data

6 – Multipurpose surveys Also called omnibus surveys: It is a survey where CoP estimate is one of the objectives (alongside with the output measurement, for example). The survey may be carried out once or, in most cases, sequentially in several rounds. The benefits correspond to the disadvantages of the stand-alone survey... and vice versa. A multi-purpose survey is heavier to manage than a specific CoP survey: the benefit of integration on the quality of answers can be diminished by the negative effects related to the length of the questionnaire.

7 – Towards an integrated survey strategy (1/3) Whether they have one specific goal or more, CoP surveys must be part of an integrated survey system. An integrated survey system consists mainly, for each survey, in: Meet a set of standards, classifications and common concepts Adopt an survey strategy based on common records and appropriate sampling methods This holistic approach is recommended by the United Nations Statistics Division.

7 – Towards an integrated survey strategy (2/3) In addition to these general principles, the specificity of this Integrated Survey System for Agriculture (AGRIS) is to: Propose a surveys sequence between two agricultural census - about 10 years Use multiple sample frames (list / area frame) to identify and geo- reference agricultural households and commercial Set a basic data set to collect and complementary themes. Make use of auxiliary data sources: administrative, professional organizations, private sector, etc. Adopt a wide and open data dissemination strategy, for micro- data and metadata.

7 – Towards an integrated survey strategy (3/3) Example of an agricultural integrated survey system Source: AGRIS, FAO Cost of Production

8 – Other data collection methods “Typical” or “representative” farms. Hybrid approaches – survey + typical farms. Model based methods. Methods based on auxiliary data : administrative, private sector, etc. -> These methods will be substantiated in specific presentations.
