Notification for farmers 


Kosovo Agency    of  Statistics  (KAS)  together with  the Ministry  of Agriculture,  Forestry  and Rural  Development  will  start  with  the  Agriculture  Census  Pilot-Project(Pilot  Census)    in Kosovo. 

We  inform  you  that  your  family  has  been  selected  to  be  interviewed  during  the  pilot-project, which aims  to  test  the methodology which will be applied  in November 2013, when  will start the  Agriculture Census.

By means of   Agriculture Census, KAS   provides    reliable statistical  information necessary  for planning and  implementation of agricultural policies and other policies, as well as for scientific researches.

Agriculture  Census  also  establishes  a  database with  agriculture  holdings    and  statistical  farm  register.  This  will  enable  the  development  of  the agricultural  statistical  system  in  Kosovo  in compliance with EU legislation. 

Agriculture  Census  provides  information  on  the  structure  of  agriculture  holdings  within  the territory  of  the  Republic  of  Kosovo,  harmonized  with  EU  standards  and  international recommendations. Agriculture Census has  not been conducted in Kosovo since 1960.

Agriculture Census pilot-project covers all  municipalities of the Republic of Kosovo and it will use  the  methods,    based  on  samples,  in  which    the  households  have  been  selected.  In  each municipality have been selected two enumeration areas(EA) in rural areas and one EA in urban areas. While, within selected enumeration area      in  rural areas, every  third household has been  selected as a sample.  

From 1 to 15 November, enumerators will visit you for interviewing on Pilot-project in order to ensure  information on  agricultural  activities  (crops   cultivated,   animals   kept,   workers  in  the farm, the machinery  used and other questions related to agriculture activity of the household).

Interviews will be carried out by KAS' enumerators, the institution, which is responsible for the surveys. All  enumerators  are  required  to  introduce  themselves with  ID    cards, while  the  data
must be obtained from the head of the household.

KAS will be very grateful  if you agree  to be  interviewed,  in order  to provide your data on  the questions  that  will  be made  to  you.  All  data  will  be  confidential  and  will  be  used  only  for statistical purposes.
