Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains. The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). This sixth-round survey in Mozambique reached 2 209 households through computer-assisted telephone interviews from 7 December 2023 to 16 January 2024. Data collection took place during the main crop planting season. The survey is representative at administrative level 1 and covered nine out of the country’s eleven provinces: Cabo Delgado, Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Nampula, Niassa, Sofala, Tete, and Zambezia. The survey also covered eight districts at administrative level 2. For more information, see https://data-in-emergencies.fao.org/pages/monitoring.

Sampling
The survey is representative at administrative level 1 and covered nine out of the country's eleven provinces: Cabo Delgado, Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Nampula, Niassa, Sofala, Tete, and Zambezia. The survey also covered eight districts at administrative level 2. The survey utilized a one-stage sample design and drew a simple random sample stratified by administrative levels 1 and 2. This resulted in 3 460 targeted households. The survey employed panel data and stratified simple random sample approaches reaching a total of 2 209 households. Between 200 and 203 households were sampled in each province. Of the total sampled households, 78 percent were agricultural households. Quotas for agricultural and non-agricultural households were based on relative proportions of each at provincial level. The sample size at administrative level 2, for both agricultural and non-agricultural households was not achieved. Ongoing conflict in the north, and the movement of people fleeing to safe areas made it challenging to reach households in these areas.
Three types of weights were applied: base weights, quota weights, and post-stratification weights. These were used to correct for biases introduced by the sample design—specifically the use of CATI quotas and RDD respondents—and to ensure the results are representative of the population:
- Base weights adjusted for unequal probabilities of selection across regions, using population figures from the WorldPop dataset
- Quota weights corrected for the intentional oversampling of agricultural households
- Post-stratification weights accounted for differences in socioeconomic status, using access to electricity as a proxy for household wealth
