    Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
    Series Information

    The Annual Agricultural Area and Production Survey (ESPAC) has been carried out continuously since 2002 during the last quarter of every year.
    Abstract

    The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC), through the National Agricultural Statistics System (SEAN), implemented a national Survey of Area and Agricultural Production (SAAP) that was developed from 1982 to 1995. In the year 2000, the 3rd National Agricultural Census (NAC) was carried out which followed a sampling census design. Since 2002, the INEC has been planning, preparing and executing a Annual Agricultural Area and Production Survey (ESPAC) applied to a sub-sample of the 3rd NAC, restoring permanently the National Agricultural Statistical System.

    The ESPAC 2018 was carried out to produce statistical information on the agricultural sector, which allows for the execution and evaluation of programs and projects implemented by the state in benefit of the population.

    The objective of the survey is to provide information on the agricultural sector for developing policies. More specifically, the ESPAC generates continuous, reliable and timely information on planted areas and/ or sown, harvested, production and sales of permanent crops and temporary, existence and movement of cattle, pigs, sheep, other species, existence and movement of field birds, poultry farms and employment.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The Annual Agricultural Area and Production Survey (ESPAC) 2018 uses the multi-frame sampling methodology, which consists of a combination of Sample Area Frame (MMA) and a Sample List Frame (MML). This statistical method is done in order to select units of research from both the SAF and the SLF.

    The MML is a directory prepared by the statistical body which contains the main farms dedicated to a particular crop which are investigated in order to improve the quality of estimates. The MMA covers the entire land area, and is stratified by agricultural intensity, then divided into Sampling Segments (SSs), whose area vary according to stratum.

    The universe for the MMA consists 357,062 segments, out of which 5,683 segments were sampled. The list frame consisted of 3,769 units of observation, and was fully enumerated..
