    Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]

    Series Information

    This Private farmer-Fishery is the 3rd in the series of Collaborative effort of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigeria Communications Commission previously conducted in 2004, 2005 and 2006 being the current one. However the Private farmer-fishery is a regular survey of the National Bureau of Statistics conducted on quarterly basis before the collaboration was initiated

    Abstract

    The Private farmer-fishery is a brainchild of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and is often referred to as Regular survey carried out on quarterly basis by the NBS over the years. In recent times, starting from 2004 to be precise, there is a collaborative effort between the NBS and the CBN in 2004 and 2005 and in 2006 the collaboration incorporated Nigerian Communications commission (NCC). The main reason of for conducting the survey was to enable the collaborating agencies fulfil their mandate in the production of current and credible statistics, to monitor and evaluate the status of the economy and the various government programmes such as the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

    The collaborative survey also assured the elimination of conflicts in data generated by the different agencies and ensured a reliable, authentic national statistics for the country.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    Total sample sizes of 32,850 Farming Housing Units (FHUs) were drawn from 2,190 EAs. In each state, 900 FHUs drawn from 60 EAs were studied. Four hundred and fifty (450) FHUs from 30 EAs were studied in (FCT), Abuja. The listings of housing units in the selected EAs were updated before they were stratified into farming and non-farming housing units. The farming housing units were further stratified into Crop Farming Housing Units (CFHU), Livestock Farming Housing Units (LFHU) and Fishing Farming Housing Units (FFHUs). In each EA, 5 FHUs were studied for crop farming, 5 FHUs were covered for livestock and 5 FHUs for fishery. At each level of selection, housing units were systematically selected using different random start.

    All households in the HUs that qualified as farming households were served with relevant private farmers questionnaires.

    Out of 2,190 EAs to be covered, 1,200 Fishing EAs were actually studied. So also out of 10,950 Fish Holders expected to be to be covered, 1,146 Fish Holders were actually studied

    Deviations from the Sample Design

    No deviation

    Response Rate

    At Enumeration Area (EA) level the response rate was 54.79 per cent while at Fish holder level, the response rate was 10.47 per cent

    Weighting

    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)

    Then the product (fj) x (fk) represented by f is the sampling fraction for each of the corresponding study unit (Enumeration Area) for all the 1,920EAs canvassed throughout the 36 states of the Federation and FCT, Abuja. The inverse of the sampling fraction is known as the design weight and was applied accordingly to all the study units.

    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))

    The above value was obtained for each of the 2,190EAs canvassed throughout the 36 states of the Federation and FCT, Abuja. Thereafter, adjustment factors were applied to adjust for the non-responses.

    Survey instrument

    Questionnaires

    The questionnaire for the fish is a structured questionnaire based on household characteristics with some modifications and additions. The House project module is a new addition and some new questions on ICT.
    The questionnaires was digitally designed using Teleform hence, scaned for data capture

    Methodology notes

    DATA PROCESSING/ANALYSIS
    The data processing analysis involved six main stages: development of data entry program; training of data processing staff; manual editing and coding; data entry and scanning; computer editing, verification and conversion and table generation. Integrated Microcomputer Processing Systems (IMPS) was one of the specialized Statistical packages used to develop the data entry program. The Disk Operating System (DOS) version of the software can support multiple screens required to capture data from the various survey instruments. With the introduction of scannable questionnaires for General Household and Modern Agricultural Holding, another new software package called Teleform was used. The indicators on household surveys were obtained using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) while the indicators on establishment surveys were obtained using MS-ACCESS and MS-EXCEL. Others indicators on Prices, Trade, National Accounts and Agricultural Survey made use of MS-Office (Access and Excel). The tabulation and analysis of the three survey systems were implemented by diligent and capable staff of the collaborative agencies.

    Supervision

    As earlier stated the data collection exercise involved team made up of 3 interviewers and 1 supervisor. The supervisor assigns EAs to the interviewers and ensure that their job is properly edited at the end of the day
    Retrieval of records was carried out in two stages. The first stage retrieval was implemented by CBN Headquarter Staff during the monitoring visit to the states and zones. The second retrieval was done during the monitoring visit of NBS Headquarter staff. A mop-up exercise was carried out by the NBS state officers and Zonal controllers for 10 days after the scheduled period for data collection and sent to NBS headquarters.

    Data Collection Notes

    Prior to the commencement of data collection, training was conducted at two levels; Training of trainers and zonal level trainings. This training was to equip trainers and trainees with background information about the survey and what is expected of them. Also, training sessions included classroom teaching, demonstration, mock interviews, role playing, field and home exercises. The fish farming survey is a household based exercise, in each state of the federation 3 teams were used comprising of 3 supervisors and 12 enumerators. A team was made up of one Supervisor and four Enumerators. Each team covered 20 Enumeration Areas (EA) for a period of 22 days. A pair of enumerators in a team covered 10 EAs.

    Data processing

    Data Editing

    The data editing is in 2 phases namely manual editing before the questionnaires were scanned. This involved using editors at the various zones to manually edit and ensure consistency in the information on the questionnaire. The second editing is the computer editing, this is the cleaning of the already scanned data.

    Data appraisal

    Estimates of Sampling Error

    The population of the country is Large and due to limited fund, census enumeration of Fish farmers is not visisble. To reduce Sampling Error selecting of Fish farmers was based on State of the Federation.

    Data Appraisal

    QUALITY CONTROL AND RETRIEVAL OF RECORD

    The Quality Control measures were carried out during the survey, essentially to ensure quality of data. There were three levels of supervision involving the supervisors at the first level, CBN staff, NBS State Officers and Zonal Controllers at second level and finally the NBS/NCC Headquarter staff constituting the third level supervision. Field monitoring and quality check exercises were also carried out during the period of data collection as part of the quality control measures.
