Survey of Agricultural Holdings 2020 - Armenia

Abstract
---------------------------

- The agricultural integrated survey is conducted to collect statistical information on the agriculture in the Republic of Armenia.

- AGRIS is based on FAO International Statistical Experience
- AGRIS questionnaires and tools (CAPI application, manual, other documents) were developed to collect internationally comparable statistics
- AGRIS content and tools are adapted to reflect the nature and policy of Armenia's agriculture
- The survey on agricultural production in Armenia in 2020 has in total 5 waves of data collection (visits).

The potential of AGRIS
1. AGRIS data
- will be the basis for the development, implementation and evaluation of agricultural policy
- will improve market efficiency
- will support research implementation
2. AGRIS can be the base for an effective agricultural statistical system
3. AGRIS is available and manageable

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The design followed the principles and recommendations of the Handbook on the Agricultural Integrated Survey (AGRIS). A link tothe Handbook is provided under Technical Documents.

Framing: The sampling strategy is based on the Multiple Frame Sampling (MSF) approach using the two agricultural frames of the Agricultural Census 2014:
· List Frame 1: Agricultural holdings of the household sector
· List Frame 2: Agricultural holdings of the non-household sector

For details of the sampling design please refer to the Sampling Strategy and Plan attached as a Technical Document.

Sampling deviation
---------------------------

Terms of using replacement list:

Addresses from replacement list should be used only in sequential order and in the following cases:
The household cannot be found at a given address.
The enumerator visited the address at least 3 times and was unable to meet with members of the household.
The household refuses to take participate the survey.
For large holdings no replacement is available.

Mode of data collection
---------------------------

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument
---------------------------

The Agricultural Integrated Survey is conducted by the interviewers via Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (Survey Solutions, SuSo) using exclusively the following digital questionnaires:

Inception questionnaire
Quarterly questionnaire
Annual questionnaire

The questionnaires were completed by interviewer during the visits to holdings in the course of the year, through direct interviews with the holder of the holding or another adult (at least 18 years old) member of the holding who is well-informed of the holding's agricultural activities.

The inception questionnaire consists of a cover page, survey preparation and the following 6 sections:
- General information on the holding
- Land use by parcels as of 1st January, 2020
- Stocks of agricultural products produced on the holding (as of 1st January, 2020
- Livestock numbers
- Buildings on the holding
- Agricultural cooperatives

The quarterly questionnaire consists of a cover sheet, general information on the holding and the following 6 sections:
- Crop area sown and production during the last two quarters (1st of January - 30th of June 2020)
- Use of Fertilizers and Pesticides/Herbicides
- Livestock and Poultry
- Production and processing of crop and animal products during the last two quarters (1st of January - 30th of June 2020)
- Labour on the holding
- Economic information about expenditures of agricultural holdings for agricultural production carried out during the last two quarters (1st of January - 30th of June 2020)

The annual questionnaire consists of a cover sheet, general information on the holding and the following 10 sections:
- Crop area sown and production during the last two quarters (1st of July - 31st of December 2020)
- Use of crop product durinig the last year
- Use of Fertilizers and Pesticides/Herbicides
- Livestock and Poultry
- Production and processing of crop and animal products during the last two quarters
- Use of pasture during 2020 (1 Jan - 31 Dec 2020)
- Labour on the holding
- Economic information about expenditures of agricultural holdings for agricultural production carried out during the last two quarters
- Access to agricultural production warehouses (From January 1st to December 31st 2020)
- Economic profiles of the holding (From January 1st to December 31st 2020)

The questionnaires were jointly developed by ARMSTAT, FAO and ICARE. Discussions were aimed at matching indicators available in the sections to the national peculiarities, particularly crop list and farm animals' gender and age group.

摘要
---------------------------
- 本农业综合调查旨在收集关于亚美尼亚共和国农业的统计数据。
- 本调查基于联合国粮农组织（FAO）的国际统计经验。
- AGRIS的调查问卷和工具（CAPI应用、手册、其他文件）被开发出来，以收集与国际标准可比的统计数据。
- AGRIS的内容和工具被调整以反映亚美尼亚农业的性质和政策。
- 2020年亚美尼亚农业生产调查共进行了5轮数据收集（访问）。

AGRIS的潜力
1. AGRIS数据
- 将成为制定、实施和评估农业政策的基石
- 将提高市场效率
- 将支持研究实施
2. AGRIS可以成为构建有效农业统计系统的基石
3. AGRIS的数据可获取且易于管理
