adjustments into the time series; approaches to their recalculation are
described in the paper.
One of the key tasks of the 2011 Busan Action Plan for Statistics is to
improve coordination and cooperation between data producers and data
users and to enable open access to statistical information. In this regard, it is
recommended before the start of the census to develop a standard plan,
methods and data dissemination venues, including access to anonymized
microdata, and archiving formats for the agricultural census data.
Sample questionnaires for different types of agricultural producers and
the layouts of summary tables are presented in the paper to assist in
developing survey tools for agricultural censuses in CIS countries. A glossary
of terms is prepared to assist census enumerators and statisticians in CIS
countries.
The implementation of sample approach is one of key aspect in
developing statistics in the CIS countries, especially in agriculture statistics. The
CIS-Stat developed special methodological materials on this subject matter
(see [6]).
The objective of this work is to improve the methodology of sample
surveys of agriculture in the CIS countries and to propose such sampling
methods that ensure maximum possible coverage of all types of agricultural
producers with the account for their size, importance, location, and/or other
characteristics and enable proper grossing up the sample survey estimates to
the general population. It will allow fulfilling one of the main tasks of
agricultural data collection as stated in the Global Strategy to Improve
Agricultural and Rural Statistics.
The paper analyzes the international recommendations for the
preparation and conduct of sample surveys in agriculture.
On the basis of the conducted research, approaches have been proposed
to constructing a sample of small business entities, peasant (farmer) farms and
personal subsidiary farms engaged in agricultural activities with the purpose
to refine the existing methodologies for conducting sample surveys in
agriculture in the CIS countries. The practical implementation of the proposed
recommendations will allow exercising a more relevant approach to
constructing territorial samples, taking into account international
recommendations on this issue. This will contribute to improving the
representativeness of data collected through sample surveys of agricultural
activities and the comparability of data between the CIS countries and at the
global level within the framework of agricultural statistics.
