Agricultural Census [ag/census]
The 2002 Census of Agriculture (AgC 2002) is the fifth of a series of decennial census on agriculture conducted in the Philippines. It was conducted in March 2003 with 2002 as the reference period. The concepts and definitions, scope, and coverage of the 1960, 1971, 1980, 1991 and 2002 censuses of agriculture were basically the same. However, there were some differences in the definition of farm, reference periods and sampling design which should be taken into account when comparing the data across the census years.
The comparison of CA 2002 with previous censuses of agriculture can be seen in the Technical Documents ( (I-10 Comparison).
The 2002 Census of Agriculture (CA 2002) is a large-scale government operation geared towards the collection and compilation of statistics in the agriculture sector of the country. The collected data will constitute the bases from which policymakers and planners will formulate plans for the country's development.
The following were the objectives of CA 2002:
- To determine the structure and characteristics of agricultural holdings;
- To determine the number and distribution of households and enterprises engaged in agriculture and to gather information on the operation of these households and enterprises;
- To provide the basis for sampling frame for other statistical undertakings; and
- To provide basic data for use in national as well as sub-national development planning.
Specifically, it aims to:
- obtain comprehensive data on farm characterisitcs such as size, location, tenure status, irrigation system, crops planted, livestock/poultry raised, etc.;
- determine the type and number of equipment, machineries and facilities used in the operation of agricultural activities whether owned or rented; and
- provide benchmarks for the various statistical series which are designed to measure progress in agriculture.

Sampling
The CA 2002 adopted a one-stage stratified systematic sampling design where selection of sample barangays was done by city/muncipality (by district for the National Capital Region or NCR) and by stratum. However, for the provinces of Laguna, Isabela, Bukidnon, and Batanes, a full sample-census was adopted.
SAMPLING UNITS AND SAMPLING FRAME
Except for the cities/municipalities of the full-sample barangays, all cities/municipalities (6 districts for NCR) were treated as domains and the barangays as the ultimate sampling units. The six districts of NCR are as follows:
NCR I - Manila;
NCR II - Quezon City;
NCR III - San Juan, Cities of Mandaluyong, Marikina and Pasig;
NCR IV - Malabon, Navotas, Cities of Kalookan and Valenzuela;
NCR V - Pateros, Taguig and Makati City; and
NCR VI - Cities of Pasay, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Parañaque
The sampling frame was based on the list of barangays taken from the results of the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (Census 2000) as of June 2002.
STRATIFICATION
In each domain, all barangays were grouped into three strata, as follows:
Stratum 1 - Barangays with the largest total farm area (TFA) in the municipality based on the 1991 Census of Agriculture and fisheries (CAF)
Stratum 2 - All other sample barangays of the 1991 CAF
Stratum 3 - All other barangays in the sampling frame
The 1991 sample barangays in each domain were ranked by descending values of TFA. The barangays with the largest TFA in 1991, referred to as the certainty barangays, were included in Stratum 1. In cases where the certainty barangay was split into two or more barangays as a result of the creation of a new barangay (as of June 2002 masterlist of barangays), the new barangay was also treated as a certainty barangay. Sample barangays of the 1991 CAF not included in Stratum 1 were assigned in Stratum 2. Barangays with no TFA because they were not samples during the 1991 CAF were arranged in ascending order of the total number of households based on Census 2000. These barangays were assigned in Stratum 3.
SAMPLE SELECTION
All barangays in Stratum 1 were automatically taken as samples. Sample barangays in Strata 2 and 3 were systematically selected using a 25-percent sampling rate, except for NCR. The sampling rates for NCR were 50 percent and 10 percent for Stratum 2 and Stratum 3, respectively. In each sampled barangay, all households were covered.
All agricultural establishments identified in the 2002 List of Establishments, whether or not located in the sample barangays of CA 2002, and new agricultural establishments in the sample barangays during the enumeration of CA 2002, were enumerated.
ALLOCATION OF SAMPLE BARANGAYS BY REGION
The allocation of sample barangays by region can be seen in the Technical Documents (I-11-1 Sample Barangays)
N/A
The estimation procedure is in the Technical Documents (I-11-3 Estimation).
Survey instrument
CAF Form 1 (List of Households, Agricultural and Fishing Operators) - is a two-page form used to list all households in the enumeration areas (EAs) and to identify the members of the households engaged in agricultural and fishing activities.
CAF Form 2 (Agriculture Questionnaire) - is a four-page queationnaire used to record detailed information on the agricultural operation of household members who were engaged in raising of crops, livestock, poultry, mushroom, honeybee and other agricultural activities.
Refer to Technical Documents for samples of the questionnaires.

TRAINING
The training program involved the training of all personnel utilized during the enumeration of the 2002 Census of Agriculture. The training was conducted in four levels, namely, Task Force or First Level, Second Level, Third Level and Fourth Level trainings.
Task Force:
Four classess, which were all held at the Central Office, were conducted for the Task Force training. Classes 1 and 2 were conducted on November 26 to 29, 2002 while Classes 3 and 4 were held on December 3 to 6 , 2002.
Participants for this level were selected Central Office (CO) personnel, selected Provincial Statistics Officers (PSOs) and Regional Statisticians of the National Statistics Officer (NSO); and selected CO personnel of the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS). Trainers and resource persons for the training were selected staff of the Census Planning and Operations Division and personnel from BAS.

The second level training was conducted in the regional offices on December 10 to 13, 2002. This was participated in by the Regional Directors, rest of PSOs, Provincial Statisticians, and selected regional and provincial staff of NSO; and Regional Agricultural Statistics Officers of BAS. Trainers for this level were the participants of the Task Force training.
Third Level:
The third level training was conducted on February 10 to 14, 2003 mostly at the NSO Provincial Offices. It was attended by the District Statistics Officers, Statistical Coordination Officers, and selected provincial staff of the NSO; hired Census Area Supevisors; and Provincial Agricultural Statistics Officers, other provincial staff, and field personnel of BAS.
Fourth Level:
The fourth level training was conducted in two batches at designated district/municipal training centers. The first batch was held on February 17 to 21, 2003 while the second batch on February 24 to 28, 2003. Participants in this level were Team Supervisors and Enumerators.
Data processing
The accomplished census forms underwent several stages of data editing. These stages include the following:
-
Field editing which consisted of checking of consistency, correctness and completeness of entries while in the field.
-
Manual Processing of accomplished questionnaires at the Provincial Offices where the following were done:
a. Verification of geographic identification and completeness of forms
b. Checking for legibility of entries
c. Coding -
Machine Processing which includes machine validation, consistency checking and completeness checking of entries.
Data appraisal
In order to provide a basis for assessing the reliability or precision of CA estimates, the estimation of the magnitude of sampling error in the census data was undertaken by the NSO for the 2002 CA. The standard error (SE) and coefficient of variation (C.V.) were used as measures of sampling error.
