Abstract
This chapter deals with the agricultural census data that indicates the type of inputs applied, quantity of inputs applied, the irrigated cropland area, estimates of cropland area damage, number of holders who applied different agricultural inputs and farm management practices, and number of holders covered by extension package programs in Afar region. However, the census covers only Dubti and Asyita and Afambo weredas from Zone-1 and Amibara, Awash Fentale and Argobaliyu weredas from Zone-3. Thus, for these areas of the region, data are presented for private holdings in rural areas for both Main (“Meher”) and “Belg” seasons, and in urban areas of holdings for Main (“Meher”) season only. For urban areas, data are collected and presented only to the inputs applied and the irrigated cropland area and number of holders who applied farm inputs. Moreover, this chapter presents statistical tables 6.1 - 6.54 that show the results of the census at Zonal and Wereda levels. In the Annex to this chapter are also given tables showing estimates, standard errors (S.E) and coefficient of variation (C.V), i.e. in Tables 6.1 and 6.2 for some relevant variables.
