IMPROVING METHODS FOR CONDUCTING SAMPLE SURVEYS IN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
Abstract
This methodological document is a concise version of the recommendations developed for the CIS countries on the basis of international standards for agricultural statistics. It was performed s a part of the international project for implementing the «Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics». There are some formulated proposals to improve methods for conducting sample surveys of agricultural activities of small business enterprises, peasant (farm) enterprises and private subsidiary farms. After a brief description of the organization of statistical observation of agricultural activities in the Commonwealth countries presented are the most fundamental provisions for issue in question in the international recommendations. To be specific, the attention is drawn to the sample survey principles set forth in the «Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics» and to the methodological framework for sample surveys contained in the «Handbook on Master Sampling Frames for Agricultural Statistics:
Frame Development, Sample Design and Estimation». The paper proposes using unified approaches to organizing sample survey of agriculture in the CIS region i.e. developing sample frame, using sampling procedure, minimum set of core data. Are identified organizational arrangements for the sample surveys of agricultural activities by selected types of economic entities. The article provides background information on applying agricultural sample survey data for general universe of separate categories of holdings and methods to estimate their representativeness.
