Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
The FAO has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains. The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). The FAO launched a fifth-round household survey on 14 June 2021 in Iraq.
The sample of 1,354 agricultural households was derived from a list of farmers registered with the Ministry of Agriculture and is therefore not representative of the country’s entire population or agricultural population. Using computer-assisted telephone interviews, 385 households per governorate were interviewed across Ninewa, Duhok, Diyala and Maysan governorates, representing Iraq’s distinct agro-ecological regions.

Sampling
The sample of 1,354 agricultural households was derived from a list of farmers registered with the Ministry of Agriculture and is therefore not representative of the country's entire population or agricultural population. Using computer-assisted telephone interviews, 385 households per governorate were interviewed across Ninewa, Duhok, Diyala and Maysan governorates, representing Iraq's distinct agro-ecological regions. Data collection coincided with the harvest season (which lasts from mid-April until July) and followed low rainfall during the planting season (October and November 2020) and drought in the growing season (February to April 2021). The survey also coincided with a rise in COVID-19 cases across the country - with a third wave of infections starting at the beginning of June and peaking at the end of July. Over 99 percent of the targeted sample was reached in all governorates except for Dohuk. Here, only 52 percent of the targeted sampled was interviewed because the team did not have contact information for all farmers.
No weights were computed.
