Questions and instructions
Literal question
Area Harvested (in hectare)
Interviewer instructions
Ascertain first whether the entire area planted was harvested during the reference quarter by asking the respondent the following screening question:
“Were you able to harvest the entire area you planted to the crop?”
If there is NO change in the area, the CDC may already ask for the area planted. However, if a DECREASE in area is declared, determine the ACTUAL area from which corn was harvested during the reference quarter and write it down on the space provided.
If the respondent cannot give the required area, explain to him that the figure being asked for is the area from which corn was ACTUALLY harvested during the reference quarter. If he still finds difficulty in giving the required area, resort to deeper probing by asking questions on farm activities paid on hectare basis. As a last resort, determine the household's ACTUAL PRODUCTION first and estimate the area accordingly. This estimation technique, however, can be used only if the CDC has an idea of the average yield per hectare in the locality. After estimating the area based on the seeding rate, try to confirm with the respondent if the estimated area is within acceptable range for him.
