<p><span class="pg">[p.213]</span></p>
<p>other than corn or beans, and raising animals for commercial or self-consumption purposes.
<br />Also exclude those who state they grow corn and/or beans for both self-consumption and for sale, as in this case the commercial activity takes precedence, in which case you should circle option 1, 2 or 3, as applicable.</p>
<div class="i1">- Consistency of the information. Make sure the options circled are consistent with each other, as 1 and 2 cannot be circled at the same time, nor can option 4 be circled along with the rest of the options, as it is common that in some economic units they consume the products they produce.<br />- Sequence to follow. Regardless of the options you circle, continue with question 3d.</div>
