Interviewer instructions

Questions 6-10. These questions measure the amount of fertilizer used over the past 12 months. Separate measures of quantities (questions 7 and 9) and payments (questions 8 and 10) are included for fertilizer bought at fair price shops and fertilizer purchased through conventional market outlets or other sources (for example, from the landlord). In reporting total spending on fertilizer, ask farmers to include not only cash purchases, but also the value of fertilizer received in kind (from the landlord, for example) or through some other credit agreement. If fertilizer was received from the landlord free of cost as part of the sharecropping arrangements, record the amount of fertilizer received, and write zero in question 10. In reporting quantities, use Kgs as the unit of measurement; if other units are reported (bags, etc.) convert them into Kgs.
