Abstract

Several kinds of approaches are followed for producing agricultural and rural statistics. The aggregation of the data collected by the extension workers is often used as agricultural statistics. In other countries, agricultural statistics are given by subjective estimates of experts. Other countries rely mainly on sample surveys, based on list or area frames or both. Various possible methods for producing agricultural and rural statistics are analysed, in order to identify the most appropriate approach, given the characteristics of the country. Then, the key challenges, the gaps and remaining methodological issues are discussed.
