Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
The objective of this survey is to estimate, using statistical tools and methods, the production of irrigated crops throughout the country.
The data collected cover:
- the general characteristics of market gardening holdings, including cultivated area, farm equipment (irrigation systems, water sources, etc.), and crops grown;
- the characteristics of farm operators, including age, sex, educational attainment, and other demographic information;
- farm performance and outputs, including yields, production levels, marketing channels, and sales.
The survey also examines constraints affecting production, including access to resources and financing, farming practices, crop protection, and post-harvest management.

Sampling
The “Irrigated Crops” module of the Second General Agricultural Census (RGA II) is based on a stratified two-stage sampling design. The country is divided into 45 study domains corresponding to the provinces, which constitute the explicit strata. Sampling is conducted independently within each province.
The primary sampling units (PSUs) are villages where irrigated crops are cultivated, identified during Phase I of the RGA II through the comprehensive inventory of production sites. The secondary sampling units (SSUs) are agricultural producers (market gardeners and other irrigated-crop producers) within those villages.
At the first stage, villages are selected without replacement using probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling, where size is measured by the number of irrigated-crop producers in each village.
At the second stage, producers are selected by simple random sampling (SRS) within the selected villages and their respective strata. A fixed number of 16 producers per village is surveyed.
The sample size was determined to ensure an approximate 10 percent margin of error for key indicators. The theoretical sample includes 9536 producers distributed across 596 villages. At the end of data collection, 9242 producers were successfully surveyed.
The sample is representative at the provincial level, owing to an allocation proportional to the size of each province in terms of the number of irrigated-crop producers, based on the RGA II sampling frame. Adjustments were made to limit sampling effects and high coefficients of variation.
Stratification is explicit at the provincial level.
With regard to non-response, no systematic replacement strategy is explicitly mentioned. The difference between the theoretical sample size (9536) and the achieved sample size (9242) reflects cases of non-response or units that could not be surveyed.
For a detailed description of the sampling methodology (including calculation formulas, design effects, and adjustments), refer to the RGA II Methodological Report, Irrigated Crops Module, produced by the Directorate General for Sectoral Studies and Statistics (DGESS/MAERAH).
A discrepancy is observed between the theoretical sample size (9,536 producers) and the achieved sample size (9,242 producers), representing a difference of approximately 3.1%. This gap may be attributable to operational factors such as non-response, respondent absence, or difficulties in locating certain producers at the time of data collection.
No detailed information is provided in the report regarding possible unit substitutions, area exclusions, or biases related to access constraints (e.g., security issues, weather conditions, or other logistical challenges).
Consequently, the overall sample structure is considered to be consistent with the original sampling design, subject to adjustments made to account for non-response.
The response rate was approximately 97 percent, calculated using the following formula:
Response Rate = Number of responding units / Total number of selected units
COEF1DEF: sampling weight applied to village-level data.
COEFTOT_DEF: final sampling weight applied to farm/operator-level data.
Survey instrument
The Irrigated Crops module uses two questionnaires:
- the “Site and Producer Census” questionnaire; and
- the “Sample Producer” questionnaire.
