Chinese Census of Agriculture
• First National Agricultural Census --- 1996
• Census Questionnaires – 38 sections, 687 data items
• Data collection – January 1997
• Data collected for approximately 214,000,000 rural households
• Approximately 7,000,000 interviewers were utilized for data collection

Use of Chinese Census Data
• Provides a wealth of crop, livestock and rural household statistics.
• Provides estimates of small administrative units.
• Provides estimates of rare commodities.
• Provides data for a sampling frame.

Chinese Agriculture Statistics
• National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of PR China
• Food and Agricultural Statistics Centre (FASC) of NBS --- Chinese Census of Agriculture
• Rural Survey Organization (RSO) --- Agricultural & Rural Statistics for China – established in 1984
• Since 1996 --- NBS and the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture --- cooperative agreement.

Chinese Survey Program
• Household Survey – farmers income and expenditures – since 1954
• Crop Yield Survey – since 1963
• 857 Sample Counties Were Selected – 1984 • Three types of surveys implemented: * Farmers Household Survey * Crop Yield Survey * Socio-economic Survey
![Page 6: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
RSO Plan For Survey Expansion
• RSO decided to expand survey program in 1999.
• Expanded survey program to cover: * Crop Area for Major Crops * All Major Types of Livestock (Inventory and Slaughter) * Agricultural Prices and Costs * Poverty Measurement
• Complete Reporting System

Guangdong Province Pilot Survey Work
• Project Involving Guangdong Bureau of Statistics, NBS-RSO, and USDA-NASS
Guangdong Province designated as site for pilot survey work.
• Guangdong Province: * 21 Prefectures * 122 Counties * 23,870 Villages

![Page 11: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3) To integrate the statistical needs for differentlevels of government
* National * Provincial * Prefecture * County
Separate samples are now used for each administrative level
Samples are not additive

Alternative 1
• Select samples from villages within all counties in a province.
![Page 19: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Alternative 2
• Select villages within a NEW sample of counties.
• Continue the practice of having samples only in selected counties (not all counties).
• Select a new sample of counties and replace the old sample of counties.
![Page 20: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Alternative 3
• Select villages with the current sample of counties.
![Page 21: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Using Census Data to Analyze Sampling Strategies
Alternative 1 — Villages within all counties in theprovince.
Alternative 2 — Villages within a new sample ofcounties.
Alternative 3 — Villages within counties currentlyutilized in Rural Household Survey.

Stratified Sampling
***Census Data Available For Stratification***
Disadvantages:
Becomes difficult to create efficient stratified
design when number of variables of interest
increases.

Possible Commodities For Sample Selection
• Land in Grain• Wheat• Rice• Corn• Tuber Crops• Rapeseed• Peanuts• Vegetables
• Orchard Area• Pond Area
• Cattle• Sheep• Hogs• Poultry

MPPS
Methods of Sampling
![Page 28: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
MPPS Sampling
Multivariate Probability Proportional to Size:
• Probability proportional to size sample design
in which the measure of size is determined
by more than one variable.
![Page 29: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) Sampling
• A sample is said to be chosen with probabilityproportional to size if the probability of selectionfor each unit in the population is proportional tosome measure of the size of the unit.
![Page 30: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Determining Probability ofSelection for MPPS Design
• Probability = Max (PPS1, PPS2, ...,PPSK)(for 1 to k commodities)
• Sample Weight = 1 / Probability
![Page 31: Improvements Of Sample Design For Rural Statistical Surveys In China Michael Steiner National Agricultural Statistics Service United States Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adc19c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Sample Selection Procedure
First Stage:
• Selection of villages (Using MPPS)
Second Stage:
• Selection of Households (random stratified)
* “Large” Households
* Other Households

Guangdong Province Pilot Surveys
• First pilot survey conducted in 2000 --- villages selected using MPPS in select counties
• Test survey of villages conducted in three prefectures in 2001, using MPPS for village selection
• Survey of villages (MPPS sample selection) conducted in entire province in 2002.
• Beginning in 2002, Households were sampled in selected villages.

Future Of Agricultural Statistics In China
Expansion of MPPS Procedures - Nationwide:
• Crop Area Planted Survey.
• Livestock Survey
Agricultural Census:
• 2006
