Agricultural Census [ag/census]
Series Information
The National Census of Agriculture (NCA) 2013 is the first census of agriculture to be conducted in the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC). In the past, the country had conducted several Population and Economic Censuses. There were also data produced from the administrative reports of the provincial offices in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). But the data provided from these censuses and administrative reports did not include any information on the basic structure of the agricultural holdings in the country. Hence, the RGC fully supports the conduct of the NCA 2013 through the National Institute of Statistics (NIS) of the Ministry of Planning (MoP) in collaboration with the MAFF.
Abstract
The main objective of the NCA 2013 is to provide data on the current agricultural situation in the country that will be utilized by policy makers. Specifically, the census data will be useful in:
1. Providing sampling frame for the conduct of agricultural sample surveys;
2. Providing data on the smallest administrative unit in the country; and,
3. Providing data on the current structure of the agricultural holdings with crop growing activity and/or raising livestock and/or poultry and aquaculture activities in the country.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
This census made use of one-stage, stratified systematic sampling method. The two strata used are households with large agricultural holdings and households with small agricultural holdings. All large agricultural holdings were interviewed while 5 percent of small agricultural holdings were selected using systematic sampling. Large agricultural holdings are defined in two ways:
1. Households that use 10 hectares or more, wholly or partly for agricultural activities.
2. Households with at least 10 cattle/buffaloes/other large livestock and/or at least 20 pigs/goats/other small livestock and/or at least 100 poultry.
Hence, those households cultivating agricultural lands between 0.03 ha to 9.99 ha and/or with large livestock ranging from 2 to 9 and/or with 3-19 small livestock and/or with 25-99 poultry were considered to have small agricultural holdings. These households with small agricultural holdings were subjected to systematic sampling. The sampling rate was 5% of the total households with small agricultural holdings. The sample selection was done at the commune level, which was the domain for this census. Hence, the lowest administrative unit in which all estimated results from which the Supplementary Module Interview of Sample Agricultural Households (SMISAH) was produced is at the commune level.
For details on the sampling procedure please refer to Annex 1 of the Training Manual.
