CSA Ethiopia has been using and still uses list frame approach to collect agricultural data. That is list of EA’s are used as PSU’s and list of HHs as SSU. But the work load in the list frame approach has an impact on the quality of data. In addition, using number of households for estimation of agricultural data some times may not be relevant.
To see the feasibility of area frame and to compare the result with that of list frame and to come up with justifiable conclusion, CSA conducted pilot survey in one zone and collected agricultural data based on area frame approach.
