Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]

Series Information

This edition is the fourth in the series of survey project conducted by the Technical Committee of the Consultative Committee on Agricultural Export Commodity Statistics (CCAECS). Fourteen crops were studied in the past three surveys; two crops (Cassava &
Kolanut) were however added during the 2006/07 survey year.

The survey was jointly carried out by four federal agencies namely: National Bureau ofStatistics (NBS), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Federal Ministry of Agriculture & Water Resources (FMA&WR) and Federal Ministry of Commerce and Industry (FMC&I).

Abstract

This edition is the fourth in the series of survey project conducted .

The survey covered the following sixteen crops: Cashew, Cassava, Cocoa, Coffee, Cotton, Garlic, Ginger, Groundnut, Gum Arabic, Kolanut, Oil Palm Rubber, Sesame seed, Sheanut, Sugar cane and Tea.
A holder is the person who owns a holding, and is therefore entitled to the proceeds from the holding.

This means additional two crops were introduced to the survey

The major objectives of the survey include:

i. To ascertain the spread of the cultivation of each of the sixteen export crops within Nigeria in terms of area cultivated by State.
ii. To provide a national basic data series on agricultural export commodities.
iii. To provide structural data on agricultural export commodities in Nigeria.
iv. To obtain socio-economic data and demographic characteristics of holders within households.
v. To provide production estimates at national and State levels.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

192 LGAs were selected nationwide.

A 2-stage sample design was employed. In the first stage,I0 EAs were systematically selected from each sampled LGA. Of the expected 1,920 EAs, only 1,855 were found to have export crops and were eventually studied.

In the second stage, 10 export crop farming housing units were systematically selected from each sampled EA (provided there were more than 10 farming housing units in the EA). Where there were 10 or less farming housing units, no selection was required and all available housing units were
studied.

Out of the 18,550 export crop farming housing units expected to be covered, 15,583 were canvassed.

Deviations from the Sample Design

No deviations

Response Rate

On National basis, 100 percent response rate was acheived at LGA level.

96.61 percent at EA level while

84.00 percent was acheived at export crop farming housing units level.

Reasons for non-response was not given.

Weighting

The variable (rf ) raising factor is computed and attached to the data file.

The formula adopted in calculating the design weights for the survey data (sample results) were as follows:
(i) The probability of selecting an EA within a state was obtained by dividing the total number of EAs sampled in a state by total number of EAs in that particular state. Let this be represented by fj. That is,
fj = Total Number of EAs sampled in a state
Total Number of EAs in that particular State

(ii) Likewise, the probability of selecting an housing unit (HU) within an EA was obtained by dividing the total number of housing units selected in an EA by the total number of housing units (HUs) listed in that particular EA. Let this be represented by fk. That is,
fk = Total Number of HUs selected in an EA
Total Number of HUs listed in that particular EA
Mathematically,
Design weight = Total number of EAs in a state
Total number of EAs sampled in that particular state
X
Total Number of HUs listed in an EA
Total Number of HUs selected in that particular EA

Methodology notes

During the listing exercise, ten (10) export farming housing units (EFHUs) were selected
for coverage. Thereafter, the Enumerators administered the holding questionnaire(s) to all
qualified agricultural export commodity farmers in each of the selected EAs, which lasted
for two weeks. Through this exercise, relevant information on production, processing,
market channels, credit facilities, farm inputs and other agronomic indicators were
obtained from the farmers.

Supervisor/Quality Check
In order to ensure high quality data, two phase quality check exercises were put in place.
During the first exercise, the officers skim-checked and spot-checked ten listing forms
and ten selected holding questionnaires in the selected EAs in each State and FCT.
Farmers were randomly selected and visited on their farms to authenticate the data entries
made by enumerators.

SUPERVISION/QUALITY CHECK

In order to ensure a high quality data, two phased quality check exercises were put in place. During the first exercise, the officers skim-checked and spot-checked the listing forms and ten selected questionnaires in the selected EAs in each State and FCT. Farmers were randomly selected and visited on their farms to authenticate the data entries made by enumerators.

In the second exercise, the headquarters based quality check was carried out by the highly trained officers from Federal Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development, Federal Ministry of Commerce, National Bureau of Statistics and the Central Bank of Nigeria. This exercise was carried out in eighteen weak states (i.e. three states per zone) which lasted for three days.

Data Collection Notes

Three levels of training were conducted before the fieldwork. Training of the Trainers (TOT) was conducted for the members of the Technical Sub-committee at CBN Headquarters, Abuja for one day. Out of 24 officers trained at the first level training, 12
trainers were chosen to handle the second level training in the six geo-political zones of the Federation.

During the second level training, 117 participants comprising Zonal Controllers, State Officers and Field Officers of the National Bureau of Statistics were trained for one day.

The third level training took place in each of the 36 State capitals and FCT where a total of five hundred and fifty five (555) enumerators and one hundred and eighty five (185) supervisors of the National Bureau of statistics were trained for one day.

Data Collection Strategy
The NBS permanent field staff carried out the data collection during the survey year. Each household head or a responsible adult in the household gave information about the household visited.

The field staff included enumerators and supervisors while the field coordinators comprised the State Officers and Zonal ontrollers. Each State Officer coordinated all field operations, while the Zonal Controllers supervised the States in their respective zones.

Data processing

Data Editing

Data Retrieval/Storage
The retrieved questionnaires were submitted at local government sub-offices. Subsequently, the questionnaires were batched according to EAs and taken to the NBS States’ offices and finally to the zonal headquarters (Ibadan, Enugu, Calabar, Maiduguri,
Kaduna, and Jos).

Data Processing/Analysis
The completed questionnaires were collated and edited manually before data entry operation was carried out by the NBS staff in the six designated NBS zonal headquarters. Machine data editing, table generation and analysis were carried out by NBS staff at NBS headquarters, Abuja, followed by report writing by the Consultative Committee on Agricultural Export Commodity Statistics (CCAECS).

(a) The data entry was done manually
(b) The data entry was done in lagos at (csd) cencus and surey division
(c) Six operator plus two suppervissor and two progammer were used
(d) Six machines were used for data entry
(e) The data entry staff used 20 days to do the entries
(f) The supervisor use 5 days to checked the entries
(g) progarm was written to convert the data to spss also provided as external resource

Data Appraisal

Apparently, the results from these four surveys have added value to agricultural production in the country. This effort has also gone a long way to assist both government and non-government agencies in addressing the unfortunate situation of scarcity of
reliable statistical data on export crops.
