Version 1: Edited data for internal use only. agricultural, forestry and rural industry [2.1] Nepal National Agro-ecological belts Development regions Eco-Development regions Agro-ecological-development belt vegetable crops, parcels, households Vegetable holdings. All operational holdings where vegetable crops were grown at least in 2 Aana (0.00636 hectares) in Mountains and Hills or 4 Dhur (0.00677 hectares) in Tarai of land were termed as vegetable holding. Sample survey data [ssd] Branch Statistical Offices Face-to-face [f2f] The Vegetable Crops Survey 2009/10 was carried out in two phases in 3 months. In the first phase 17, cross-sectional districts of the country were covered and the remaining districts were enumerated in the second phase each of one and a half months. The field work was begun from mid-November 2009 and lasted till mid-February 2010. There were 17 teams formed and employed for the field work of 34 districts selected. Each team was assigned for household listing and enumeration of 20 wards within 2 districts. The weights were calculated as the inverse of the probability of selection. For this survey, household weights and the weights for vegetable holdings were calculated. The weight variable for vegetable holdings is available in all VCS data files as VEG_WEIGHT while the household weight variable is available in the vegetable_rec_test data file as HH_WEIGHT. The derivation of the weights are discussed in detail in Annex II of the VCS 2009 Statistical Report. Filled-in questionnaires were scrutinized for editing, consistency checking and recoding as needed before going to the data entry procedure. The response rate of the survey was 100 percent. The documents related to estimation of sampling errors will be prepared separately. The analytical reliability of data document will be prepared later.
