Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
This survey was carried out once in 2012
The availability of statistical data on agriculture is necessary to draw up policies and plans for the future development of this sector. Agriculture plays a vital role and represents a significant share of the Palestinian Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and also of the Palestinian labour force. There is a pressing need for specialized surveys to be conducted that will complement the first Agricultural Census in the Palestinian Territory that was conducted in 2010.

Weight is known as an inverted probability of selection of the element in the sample weight and can be interpreted as how much the element represented in the sample of elements of society. The weights are adjusted for cases of non-response through the process of data collection.
The agricultural statistics questionnaire was designed based on the recommendations of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the questionnaire used for the Agricultural Census of 2010. The special situation of the Palestinian Territory was taken into account, in addition to the specific requirements of the technical phase of field work and of data processing and analysis.

Special follow-up forms were designed for the submission and receipt of questionnaires for all levels, as well as the daily accomplishments of the interviewers. Supervisors had the task of allocating work to the teams using the map and the sample list. They provided daily reports to the field work coordinator clarifying the interviews completed, cases of refusal, non-applicable cases and other interview results. The report was then sent to the project manager. In addition, technicians and field work coordinators conducted visits to monitor field work, ensure the quality of data and to assist in solving any problems faced by the field work team.
PCBS prepared a plan to execute the field work of the main survey in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This plan included formulation of the field work team, the field work tools (questionnaires, maps, sample lists), and the distribution of field workers to different governorates. In total, there were 59 field workers, eight supervisors, two editors and three field work coordinators in West Bank governorates, plus seven field workers, two supervisors, two editors and a field work coordinator in governorates in Gaza Strip. The field work for the survey lasted from 23 January to 31 March 2012.
This phase included the following operations:
Survey data may be affected by statistical errors due to the use of the sample. Therefore, certain differences may emerge from the true values anticipated through censuses. The variation of the most important indicators was calculated and dissemination levels of the data were particularized at governorate level in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, according to the sample design and the variance calculations for the different indicators.
