Interviewer instructions
Get the TOTAL PHYSICAL AREA of the palay farm operated by the sample household within the province and those located in other parts of the country. This includes palay areas acquired by the sample household as of the date of interview, and those palay areas being operated by the sample household which are temporarily in fallow during the reference period. This excludes areas which were previously part of the farm but are no longer part of it by reason of sale (including farming rights), giving up of lease or tenancy rights, abandonment of squatted areas, etc.
Enter area in hectare and in four (4) decimal places. If the household operates more than one parcel, inquire on the number of parcels being operated and the corresponding area. Indicate the sum of areas of all the palay parcels in item 6. Some validating techniques to determine area are the quantity of seeds used, production, tractor fee, etc.
