Interviewer instructions
Refers to the total area of the focus farm parcel where the actual harvesting has been done during the reference period. Inquire and indicate the area harvested in hectare and in four (4) decimal places on the space provided.
In many cases, the area harvested is exactly the same as the area planted. If the portion of the area planted to cassava was damaged by flood, drought, pest and diseases, etc., the area harvested should be less than the area planted. However, if the farmer’s last completed cropping was damaged by 20% or more, consider the other parcel as the focus parcel, if no other farm parcel planted and harvested to cassava within the reference period, end the interview.
Thus, the entry in Block C, Item 7 (area harvested) maybe equal or less than the entry in Block C Item 6 (area planted).
