<p><span class="em">Question 23 and 24</span><div class="i1">Does anyone in this household... (Write 'yes' or 'no')</div><div class="i2">Grow coffee?<br />Grow tea?<br />Grow cocoa?<br />Grow rubber?<br />Grow spices?<br />Raise pigs?<br />Raise cattle?</div><div class="i1">In the last 12 months did this household get any money from: (Write 'yes' or 'no')</div><div class="i2">Selling things they made?<br />Selling coconuts or copra?<br />Selling food crops?<br />Selling fish?<br />Running a Store?<br />Running a PMV?<br />Running a boat, canoe?<br />Any other activity (describe)</div><p>These two questions are about the household as a whole. If any members of the household are involved in the activities you should write 'yes'.</p>

<p>You should either give a 'yes' or 'no' answer in each of the boxes, for each activity. Make sure you ask about each activity. For example ask if people sell fish, even if they don't live near the sea. Sometimes people catch fish from ponds or small rivers and sell them.</p>

<p>Do not write 'yes' in these questions if the person does these activities for a wage job. For example</p>
<div class="i1">(a) a coffee plantation worker who gets paid a wage should have 'no' for "grow coffee" except if he has his own coffee somewhere else.<br />(b) a PMV driver who gets paid a wage should have 'no' for running a PMV- because it is not his own PMV business.</div><span class="em">Question 24</span>
<br />This question is different to question 23.
<br />The important thing here is whether people have got any money except wages from the activities listed.
<br />It doesn't matter how much money. For example if a woman sold 3 <span class="lang">bilums</span> over the last 12 months then you should write 'yes' in the first box.
<br />For any other activity ask "is there any other activity you get money from''? Examples are selling <span class="lang">shelis</span>, butterflies, canoes or selling 'wild pigs caught while hunting'.
<br />When we mean selling for money.</p>

<p>Do not write 'yes' where people simply exchange the items for something else. Like a pig for a bow and arrow.
