3 PART I INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SURVEY 1.1 Introduction The relentless exploitation of agriculture and growth of population in Ethiopia have made land an extremely expensive natural resource. This problem is even more pronounced in rural parts of the country within the private peasant holdings where the quest for agricultural land is grave. Land scarcity is in the spotlight and a persistent concern to the government at the height of the march on food security. By virtue of being an indispensable part of life, land is changing invariably in configuration resulting in minuscule holding size per household and becoming a scant supply to farmers in Ethiopia. Information on the mode of land use that prevails within the farming population certainly assists the government to spell out land use policy so as to cope with the pressure on agricultural land. In view of this, to gauge the shifting make up of land use and help decision makers articulate the fitting policies, the Central Statistical Agency (C.S.A) has been providing statistical information by collecting, processing and summarizing data on the country s agricultural land use by employing standard procedures of data collection. The 2006/07 (1999 E.C) Agricultural Sample Survey was conducted to furnish data on land utilization within the private peasant holdings for Meher season of the same year. The survey results are presented in this bulletin and on electronic media for data users. This report comprises three parts. Part I contains the objectives of the annual survey. Part II deals with coverage of the survey, sample design, field organization and method of data collection and Part III includes summary of the results. Estimation procedures and formulation of estimates of totals and variance are presented in Appendix I. Estimates of the standard errors with the corresponding coefficients of variations for land use area are presented in Appendix II.

4 1.2 Objectives of the Survey The general objective of CSA s Agricultural Sample Survey (AgSS) is to collect basic quantitative information on the country s agricultural land that is essential for planning, policy formulation, food security, etc. The AgSS is composed of four components: Crop Production Forecast Survey, Meher Season Survey of which land use is a part, Livestock Survey and Belg Season Survey. The specific objectives of Meher Season Survey (Land Utilization) are to estimate the total cultivated area and other forms of land use. Companion reports are also published separately with estimates of crop area, volume of production and quantity of agricultural inputs during Meher Season agriculture. The Land Utilization report is based on private peasant holdings in sedentary rural areas of the country. The data is summarized at regional and zonal levels.

5 PART II SURVEY METHODOLOGY, DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING 2.1. Scope and Coverage of the Survey The range of data items that the 2006/07 (1999 E.C) Agricultural Main Season Survey dealt with included land use area (crop area, fallow land, grazing land, wood land and other land use). Holders engaged in growing crops / raising animals were enumerated and data on land use area was recorded. The 2006/07 (1999 E.C) Annual Agricultural Sample Survey (Meher season) covered the entire rural parts of the country except Gambella Region, and the non-sedentary population of three zones of Afar & six zones of Somali regions. Accordingly, the survey took into account all parts of Harari, Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, and 61 additional Zones / Special weredas (that are treated as zones) of other regions. To be covered by the survey, a total of 2,117 enumeration areas (EAs) and 250 resettlement localities were selected. However, due to various reasons that are beyond control, in 22 EAs and 2 resettlement localities the survey was disrupted. Thus, all in all the survey succeeded to cover 2,095 EAs and 248 resettlement localities (98.99%) throughout the regions. The Annual Agricultural Sample survey (Meher season) was conducted on the basis of 20 agricultural households selected from each EA/resettlement locality. Regarding the ultimate sampling units, it was intended to cover a total of 48,300 agricultural households, however, 46,702 (96.69%) were actually covered by the survey. 2.2 SAMPLING FRAME The list containing EAs of all regions and their respective agricultural households obtained from the 2001/02 Ethiopian Agricultural Sample Enumeration (EASE) was used as the sampling frame in order to select the primary sampling units (EAs). Consequently, all sample EAs were selected from this frame based on the design proposed for the survey. Resettlement localities, on the other hand, are sub-samples of the list of all resettlements localities obtained from each region. The second stage

6 sampling units, households, were selected from a fresh list of households that were prepared for each EA/ resettlement localities at the beginning of the survey. 2.3 SAMPLE DESIGN In order to select the sample a stratified two-stage cluster sample design was implemented. Enumeration areas (EAs) /resettlement localities were taken to be the primary sampling units (PSUs) and the secondary sampling units (SSUs) were agricultural households. The sample size for the 2006/07 agricultural sample survey was determined by taking into account both the required level of precision for the most important estimates within each domain and the amount of resources allocated to the survey. In order to reduce non-sampling errors, manageability of the survey in terms of quality and operational control was also considered. Except Harari, Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa, where each region as a whole was taken to be the domain of estimation; each zone of a region / special wereda was adopted as a stratum for which major findings of the survey are reported. Moreover, values for the 2006/07 cultivated areas of crops and the expected amount of production for Gambella region are also provided. However, it is important to note that these values are not obtained from the survey but they are projections from the results of the 2003/04 annual Crop Production Forecast Sample Survey. 2.4 SELECTION SCHEME Enumeration areas/resettlement localities from each stratum were selected systematically using probability proportional to size sampling technique; size being number of agricultural households. The sizes for EAs were obtained from the 1994 Population & Housing Census and adjusted for the sub-sampling effect. Sizes for resettlement localities on the other hand were obtained from the 2004 listings of resettlement localities. From the fresh list of households prepared at the beginning of the survey 20 agricultural households within each sample EA/resettlement locality were selected systematically.

7 Estimation procedure of totals, ratios, sampling error and the measurement of precision of estimates (CV) are given in Appendix I and II respectively. Distribution of sampling units (sampled and covered EAs and resettlement localities) by stratum is also presented in Appendix III Organization of Field Work The conduct of a survey cannot be executed without the arrangement of fieldwork. In recognition of this, the organization of fieldwork has been entrusted to the Department of Field Operations that liaises between the Head Office and the 25 Branch Statistical Offices spread across the regions. All Branch Offices took part in the survey execution especially in recruiting the enumerators, organizing the 2 nd stage training, assigning the field staff to their sites of enumeration, supervising the data collection and retrieving completed questionnaires and submitting them to the Head Office for data processing. The Branch Offices were also responsible for administering the financial and logistic aspects of the survey within their areas of operation. A total of 2388 enumerators, 455 field supervisors, 25 coordinators and 50 statisticians were involved in the data collection where on the average one supervisor was assigned to five enumeration areas for supervision of data collection. All the enumerators were supplied with the necessary survey equipment after the completion of the training to ensure the smooth operation of the survey. To facilitate the data collection activities, a total of 205 fourwheel drive vehicles were used. 2.6 Training of Field Staff The execution of a survey and quality of data acquired from the survey highly depend on the type of training given to the enumerators and supervisors and the consequent understanding of the tasks to be performed and the standard procedures to be followed by the enumerators and supervisors in the survey undertaking. The quality and completeness of data is ensured when the training meets its objective of producing responsible and fervent enumerators and supervisors.

8 In light of this point, the training was given to the field staff in two stages. The first stage training, which took place at the Head Quarters of CSA and lasted ten days targeted staff from the Head Office, and senior field supervisors from Branch Statistical Offices. The staff that took part in the first stage training was then assigned to conduct similar training for the enumerators and other supervisors for fifteen days in all the twenty- five Branch Statistical Offices distributed across the country. In the training the field staff was given detailed classroom instruction on how to collect data, method of area measurement, interviewing procedures, etc. The training also included field practice to reinforce the understanding of concepts, definitions and theories discussed in the classroom with regard to field measurement, and interviewing methods. 2.7 Method of Data Collection The agricultural data for the year 2006/07 (1999 E.C) was collected from sedentary rural peasant households by interviewing the selected agricultural holders and physically measuring their crop and other fields. The data obtained were recorded in various forms designed for this purpose. Instruments like measuring tape; compass, scientific calculators and others were used during data collection for a speedy and smooth acquisition of accurate data. The procedures for measuring areas of all crop fields and other fields used by the holders were performed for the thirty selected households from each sampled E.A. using measuring tapes and compasses Data Processing a) Editing, Coding and Verification Statistical data editing plays an important role in ensuring the quality of the collected survey data. It minimizes the effects of errors introduced while collecting data in the field, hence the need for data editing, coding and verification. Although coding and editing are done by the enumerators and supervisors in the field, respectively, verification of this task is done at the Head Office. An editing, coding and verification instruction manual was prepared and reproduced for this purpose. Then 43 editors-

9 coders and verifiers were trained for two days in editing, coding and verification using the aforementioned manual as a reference and teaching aid. The completed questionnaires were edited, coded and later verified on a 100 % basis before the questionnaires were passed over to the data entry unit. The editing, coding and verification exercise of all questionnaires took 35 days. b) Data Entry, Cleaning and Tabulation Before data entry, the Natural Resources and Agricultural Statistics Department prepared edit specification for the survey for use on personal computers for data consistency checking purposes. The data on the edited and coded questionnaires were then entered into personal computers. The data were then checked and cleaned using the edit specifications prepared earlier for this purpose. The data entry operation involved about 60 data encoders and it took 75 days to finish the job. Finally, summarization of the data was done on personal computers to produce statistical tables as per the tabulation plan. 2.9 Concepts and Definitions Data items of agriculture have to be distinctly defined and identified so that the information about the items becomes useful. The correct way of stating data items and related terms is a prerequisite for making standards and definitions for the collection and compilation of agricultural data.the purpose of using standard concepts and definitions is not only to provide quality data but also to ensure that the right items are enumerated and measured accurately to reflect the agricultural situation. Standard concepts and definitions used in the survey help to maintain consistent enumeration and measurement of variables of interest. To achieve this, CSA communicates concepts and definitions to the field staff through training and instruction manuals. The concepts and definitions used in the survey included the following. Enumeration Area (E.A): an enumeration area in the rural parts of the country is a locality that is in most of the cases less than and only in some cases equal to a farmers association in geographical area and usually consists of households

10 Household: - a household may be either: a) a one person household, that is a person who makes provisions for his own living with out combining with any other person to form part of a multi- person household or b) a multi-person household, that is, a group of two or more persons who live together and make common provisions for food and other essentials of living. The persons in the group may pool their incomes and have a common budget to a greater or lesser extent. They may be related or unrelated persons or a combination of both. These persons are taken as members of the household. Agriculture: - The growing of crops and/or raising of animals for own consumption and /or sale. Agricultural Household: - a household is considered an agricultural household when at least one member of the household is engaged in growing crops and/or raising livestock in private or in combination with others. Holding: - a holding is all the land and /or livestock kept, which is used wholly or partly for agricultural production and is operated as one legal entity by one person alone, or with others with out regard to management, organization, size or location. Size of Holding: - is the total land in different uses that a holder exercises management control over. The land can be under any crops, fallow, grazing, woodland and other land. Holder: - a holder is a person who exercises management control over the operation of the agricultural holding and makes the major decision regarding the utilization of the available resources. He/she has primary technical and economic responsibility for the holding. He/she may operate the holding directly as an owner or a manager. Under conditions of traditional agricultural holding the holder may be regarded as the person, who with or with out the help of others, operates land and/or raises livestock in his/ her own right, i.e. the person who decides on which, where, when, and how to grow crops or raise livestock or both and has the right to determine the utilization of the products.

11 Parcel: - a parcel of holding is any piece of land entirely surrounded by land and/or water and/or road and/or forest etc. which is not part of the holding. It may consist of one or more cadastral units, plots or fields adjacent to each other. Field: - a field is defined as any plot of land which is a parcel or part of a parcel under the same or mixed crops or any other form of private holding. Crop: includes cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, root crops, fruits coffee, Enset, Chat, hops, sugarcane, cotton, tobacco, etc produced for food, making drinks, stimulation and making fabrics or clothing. Temporary/Annual Crops: - are crops, which are grown in less than a year s time, sometimes only a few months with an objective to sow or replant again for additional production following the current harvest. Continuously grown crops planted in rotation are also considered as temporary crops since each is harvested and destroyed by ploughing in preparation for each successive crop. Permanent Crops: - Crops, which are grown and occupy land for a long period of time, not requiring replanting for several years after each harvest, are considered as permanent crops. All fruit trees (i.e. oranges, mandarin, bananas, etc) and trees for beverages (i.e. coffee, tea, Gesho, etc) are considered permanent crops but meadows and pastures are excluded. Meher (Main) Season Crop: - any temporary crop harvested between Meskerm (September) and Yekatit (February) is considered as Meher season crop. Belg Season Crop: - any temporary crop harvested between the months of Megabit (March) and Pagume (August) is considered to be Belg Season Crop. Grazing land:- land used for growing herbaceous forage crops either through cultivation or naturally, is considered to be grazing land. Fallow land: - land which has been or is intended to be kept at rest for at least one agricultural year (season) and a maximum idleness of less than five years is considered fallow land.

12 Woodland: all tracts of timber, natural or planted and part of the holding, which has value as wood, timber, other wood products and /or used for production. Forestland used for recreational purposes is not included as woodland. Other land use: - includes land occupied by the holders houses and /or buildings, gardens, barns, wells, ponds, etc.

13 Land use area PART III SUMMARY OF SURVEY RESULTS Food security embraces a wide range of crops such as cereals, pulses, oilseeds, etc. The fact that most of the land within the private peasant holding is under these food crops comes as no surprise when the struggle for self-sufficiency in food is being intensified. This is nowhere more illustrated than in the land use survey results for 2006/07 (1999 E.C). The total land area reported for the private peasant holdings was estimated at about 15 million hectares and operated by about 12 million agricultural households and more than 12 million holders. The statistical tables in this report show that most of the agricultural land (more than 74%) was under temporary crops and more than 11 million and about seven million households were reported growing temporary and permanent crops, respectively, in 2006/07 (1999 E.C). The numbers of households growing both types of crops are not mutually exclusive. The average holding sizes per household and holder were recorded to be 1.25 and 1.21 hectares, respectively. On the other hand the average cropland area was found out to be 1.03 hectares per household and 0.99 hectare per holder. For details refer to Statistical Table 1. Distributions of households by holding size and holders, by age, sex, educational status, holding type and cropland area, by crop type and total land area by tenure system are presented in Statistical Tables 2 to 8.11
