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). FAO launched a round 6, computer-assisted telephone interviews survey conducted from 1 to 18 March 2023 in Yemen. A total of 2 443 households were reached across all 22 governorates of Yemen using a panel list of agricultural households, that had been interviewed in the previous data collection rounds, to reach the target.

Sampling
A survey targeting 2 420 households was initially designed with 110 households targeted in each of the 22 governorates. The sample was representative of the population of Yemen and of the governorates at administrative 1 level with a 95 percent confidence level and a 10 percent margin of error. A total of 2 443 households were interviewed during this sixth-round survey using random digit dialing and a panel list of agricultural households, that had been interviewed in the previous data collection rounds, to reach the target. Of the surveyed households, 48 percent were engaged in the production and sale of crops, livestock and both, and around 2 percent were engaged in the production and sale of fish in the 12 months preceding the survey. However, the number of agricultural households interviewed in Aden, Al Jawf and Sana’a City was low and findings from these governorates should be interpreted with caution.
Data were weighted at the analytical stage at the first administrative level (ADM1) to ensure the results are representative and to adjust for sampling biases commonly introduced in phone-based surveys:
- Base Weights (ADM1 Level): These weights were calculated to reflect the population distribution across regions, ensuring proportional representation based on each region’s share of the total population.
- Wealth Weights (ADM1 Level): To address the inherent bias in phone surveys—where wealthier households are more likely to own phones and thus be overrepresented—weights were further adjusted using proxies for household wealth. Specifically, the education level of the household head and access to potable water were used to account for socioeconomic disparities.
