The agricultural survey is an annual statistical operation whose general objective is to estimate the level of the main agricultural production of family-type farms. It also makes it possible to provide information on the physical characteristics of cultivated plots of land (geo location, surface area) and the major investments made at their level (agricultural inputs, cultivation operations, soil management and restoration). It also addresses, once every 3 years, themes relating to the structure of agricultural households (level of agricultural equipment, agricultural income, agricultural risks and adaptation strategies, etc.).The main indicators relate to yield levels, areas sown, production and means of production.\nSince 2017, with the support of the FAO AGRISurvey Program, DAPSA has adapted the methodology of AAS through the adoption of an integrated and modular approach, namely the AGRIS method developed under the Global Strategy for the Improvement of Agricultural and Rural Statistics (GSARS). This approach enables the production of data on agricultural production activities, but also on economic, social and environmental dimensions of farms through the deployment of thematic modules administered jointly with the annual core questionnaire according to a multi-year rotating plan.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2018-08-20","end":"2018-11-01","cycle":"1st round"},{"start":"2019-01-01","end":"2019-02-13","cycle":"2nd round"}],"nation":[{"name":"Senegal","abbreviation":"SEN"}],"geog_coverage":"National coverage","analysis_unit":"Agricultural holdings","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The scoope of the study was covered in two questionnaires:\n\n(a) QUESTIONNAIRE 1: CENSUS OF HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS AND HOUSEHOLDS' LIVING QUARTERS:\n \nSection 1: Household identification \nSection 2: Census of household members \nSection 3: Census of plots operated by the household during the 2018 crop year \nSection 4: Plots cultivated in the previous crop year \nSection 5: Monitoring of plots operated by the household \nSection 6: Survey of the areas of the plots operated by the household \n\n(b) QUESTIONNAIRE 2 - HOUSEHOLD:\n \nSection 1: General farm information \nSection 2a: 2018 Rainfed Crop Production \nSection 2b: Horticultural Production in 2018 \nSection 4: Inputs for agricultural production \nSection 5: On-farm processing of agricultural products (Marketing of agricultural and processed products)\nSection 6a: Participation of household members in the 2018 crop year \nSection 6b: Farm Worker Participation in the 2018 Crop Year \nSection 7: Livestock \nSection 8: Inputs for animal livestock \nSection 9: Animal products and their marketing \nSection 10: Fisheries and Aquaculture \nSection 11: Forest Production \nSection 12: Agricultural equipment \nSection 13: Shocks and Strategies to deal with production shocks \nSection 14: Other Expenditure, investment, finance and insurance \nSection 15: Marketing and Storage \nSection 16: Other sources of income"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"(a) THE SAMPLING FRAME\n\nThe results of the latest RGPHAE include 755,532 farming households engaged in agriculture in the broadest sense. On this basis 455,916 agricultural households practice rain-fed agriculture. The agricultural household file will be used as the sampling frame for the first degree DR draws. The second stage sampling frame consists, at the level of each primary unit (PU) or DR drawn, of the exhaustive list of agricultural households living there and representing the secondary units (US).\n\n(b) SAMPLE DESIGN\n\nThe sample design includes a global sample of 6340 farm households in 1260 DRs and the 42 fields of study (department). The distribution of the sample considers the overall sampling rates and the agricultural weight of the stratum. The selected sampling design refers to a two-stage random survey with national coverage, which admits rural census districts (DRs) as primary units (PU) and agricultural households as secondary units (US). The method consists of distributing the statistical population (farm households) into the primary units so that each of them is unambiguously linked to a specific CU. The sample is then drawn in two stages:\n\n- In the first stage (1st stage), a sample of primary units (PR) is drawn,\n- In the second stage (2nd stage), a sample of secondary units is selected from each primary unit (DR) drawn in the 1st stage.\n\nThe advantage of this method is that it is not necessary to have an exhaustive list of secondary units for the whole national territory, but only those residing in the sample primary units. This reduces travel and consequently the costs of the survey. The sample draws will be organised independently from one field of study (department) to another. The primary units or DRs are drawn with unequal probabilities and with discount (PIAR draw). The probability of exit from a DR at each draw is chosen in proportion to its size expressed in terms of the number of farm households. At the second level, secondary units (or farm households) are drawn with equal probabilities and without discount (PESR draw). A constant number of secondary units is selected from each DR in the first-stage sample. This constant number of secondary units is chosen equal to 5.For the economic module, two households were drawn in each DR. Exactly 2362 sampled households and 2321 households were covered.\n\nMore information on the weighting calculation is available in the note on methodology in the external resources.","coll_mode":"Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]","weight":"\u201cpoids_men\u201d: this is the adjusted household weighting coefficient which was used in the study.\n\nNote: The weighting calculations can be found in the file \"Note sur le calcul des coefficients de pond\u00e9ration\".","method_notes":"The AES 2018-2019 microdata contain information on households and individuals and therefore need to be anonymised before they can be used for the analysis.

In order to carry out all the interviews, a local server was installed to manage the interviews and assignments, as well as the creation of user accounts for the supervisors (42) and interviewers (156). At the level of the collection system, each interviewer was trained in the use of the survey solution interviewer collection application. Following this training, the interviewers received a tablet (Samsung, techno), the Garmin 64 tool for measuring plot surface areas and an internet connection for receiving assignments and synchronising interviews on the server. Also the control system at department level, consisting of the heads of department, was trained on the use and management of the Headquaters. To this end, each head of department was given an internet connection to approve or reject interviews.\n\n\n(b) DATA MANAGEMENT\nThe AAS 2018-2019 data entry application has been designed to streamline the data collection process in the field. The study interviews were collected in \"sample\" mode (assignments generated from headquarters). Logical and consistency checks built into the data entry application (interviewer) helped to minimise possible errors in the information collected from the respondent. The headquarters assigned the work to the interviewers according to the coverage of the households to be surveyed. Once the assignments were made, the interviewers synchronized to receive their assignments and proceeded with the administration of the interviews. Each interview was completed and sent to the supervisor's area in his or her department for verification. The verification has two states: approve the interview or reject the interview. Once the interviews are approved by the supervisors, a database is built and can be exported in various formats (stata, spss, tab). For the AAS 2018-2019 database, the data was exported to STATA for further consistency checks, data cleaning and analysis.\n\n(c) DATA CLEANING\nThe data cleansing process took place in different stages:\n- Preliminary processing consists of programming a set of consistency checks in the SUSO application to prevent interviewers from entering certain outliers or incorrect values.\n- A second level of control is carried out by supervisors based at the level of the departmental rural development services (sddr) and at the level of DAPSA. It consists of opening each interview to check the completeness and consistency of responses. Supervisors should synchronize the enumerators' shelves as often as possible to avoid having many questionnaires on the shelf and to allow daily checks of the questionnaires. Some supervisors preferred to review completed interviews on the shelves to revise them before synchronization, while recording the notes in the supervisor's account and rejecting the questionnaires accordingly.\n- The final stage of data cleaning is carried out by the central DAPSA team using statistical processing software (STATA and SPSS). It consists of exporting all the data from the platform in order to have an overview of the data. During this stage, a distinction is made between two main types of checks: checks on the form of the observations and logical or linkage checks between observations.\n\n* To access thematic tables of the study, refer to the data platform link (DAPSA) provided in external materials under 'other materials' of the documentation section."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"The response rates are 94% at the cluster level and 89% at the household level.","data_appraisal":"1. Error correction\nThe controls have made it possible on the one hand to check that no formal errors remain in the database and on the other hand to reduce the errors of funds even if they are difficult to correct. Two types of corrections are used: automatic correction and manual correction. It should be noted that these corrections are made on outliers and partial non-responses. The automatic correction in the form of a programme to be executed is preferred because it allows to keep a traceability of all the corrections made. Corrections by standard profile, by average, nearest neighbour or by ratio are often used to correct or impute certain values. \n\n2. Treatment of total non-responses\nTotal non-response occurs when no information is provided on a household. These cases do not exist in the database because they have been managed from the beginning. If the respondent does not consent to answer the questions, he or she is replaced by another household."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"The microdata of the Annual Agricultural Survey are confidential.
