Forecast of Extent and Production of Big Onion Yala 2017
Introduction
An early forecast on the probable domestic production of Big Onion has been prepared based on a reconnaissance survey that was carried out by the Department of Census and statistics (DCS) during the months of August/September 2017, in major Big Onion producing districts namely: Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Matale and Mahaweli “H” area.
Data Collection
A sample of GN divisions from DS divisions of the above administrative districts, where crop was grown during the current season, was selected to conduct this survey. A sample of Big Onion farmers was drawn from the selected GN Divisions for the enumeration. In the case of Mahaweli “H” area, a sample of farmers from each Unit Manager’s division was enumerated.
In this exercise, the information such as expected yield levels on the basis of current crop out‐look, expected month of harvest and some other additional information were collected from the sample of farmers by the Statistical Officers attached to respective DS divisions. Altogether 366 out of 6,156 Big Onion farmers were interviewed in this survey.
Production and Market Surplus
The estimated total production for 2017 Yala season is around 39,000 Metric Tons. A certain percentage of total harvest would not be reached to the market as farmers are keeping for their own consumption purposes. If it assumes that the total amount utilized for farmer’s home consumption and as vegetable is about 5 percent of the total output, the estimated marketable production would be around 37,000 Metric Tons during the current Yala season.
