Nigeria - National Survey of Agricultural Export Commodities 2006, Third round

Nigeria National Survey of Agricultural Export Commodities 2006

Third round

Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]

In recent past, three survey projects had been conducted through National Survey of Agricultural Exportable crop Commodities (NSAEC). The survey projects include: Pilot test 2002/2003, others 2004/2005 and 2005/2006.

The projects were jointly carried out by four federal agencies namely: National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Federal Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development (FMA&RD) and Federal Ministry of Commerce (FMC).

Obviously, the results obtained from these joint projects would add value to agricultural production in the country. It is believed that the survey results would give both government and non governmental agencies ample opportunity to address the ugly situation of the past years.

The survey covered the following fourteen crops: Cashew, Cocoa, Coffee, Cotton, Garlic, and Ginger, Groundnut, Gun Arabic, Oil palm, Rubber, Sesame seed, Sheanuts, Sugar cane and Tea.

This report is based on the 2005/06 survey result which is the third edition of its series and the most recent conclusive project.

ID Number NGA-NBS-AGREXP-2006-v1.0

The Survey covered farming households involved in the selected export

crops, which covered all states in Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory

(FCT). Allocation of sample in LGAs and States varies from a minimum of

three to a maximum of nine, based on the number of export crops grown in

the state, as well as on the intensity of cultivation.

In all, 192 LGAs were sampled nationwide with 10 EAs selected from each

sampled LGA, bringing the total number of EAs nationwide to 1920. In each

EA, 10 housing units were selected, which brought the total number of

housing units covered in the survey to 19,200.

The scopes for data collection were as follows:

– Access to land by type of tenure

– Area cultivated under each crop

– Production in terms of output of each crop

– Use of Farm Inputs - fertilizer, pesticides and improved seedlings

– Access to Credit facilities

– Employment

– Market channels,

– Farm gate and Open market prices

– Consumption from own-production

– Transportation and Storage

– Use and access to farm Implements.
