    Supervision

    Each enumerator falls under a team leader who reports to a Provincial Supervisor and ultimately to a National Supervisor.
    Data Collection Notes

    Training of enumerators was conducted, and a pre-testing of the questionnaires was done before the actual data collection. Quality control checks were done by spot checks and interview observation.

    The standard questionnaire was administered to different agricultural sectors, including small farms (A1), large farms (A2), small-scale commercial farms, large-scale commercial farms, communal lands, cooperatives, and former cooperatives.

    Data processing

    Data Editing

    Data editing started from the field, with each enumerator editing his/her questionnaires and the team leader further subjected the questionnaires for further editing. The questionnaires also underwent office editing.
