National Survey of Agricultural Export Commodities 2005
Subtitle
Second round
Study Type
Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
Series Information
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) of Nigeria approved the setting up of the Consultative Committee on Agricultural Export Commodity Statistics (CCAECS) in 2000 with a primary mandate to conduct national survey of agricultural export commodities on annual basis. The CCAECS comprised the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMA&RD) and Federal Ministry of Commerce (FMC).
The need to curb the problem of perennial paucity of reliable agricultural data necessitated the setting up of the Committee.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had been funding the project and it is expected to continue to do so as directed by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) until such a time when the National Bureau of Statistics would be strong enough financially to carry out this annual survey which is part of its statutory mandate.
The pilot survey was carried out in 2002 and the report had already been published. Unfortunately, the 2003 edition could not be carried out due to some problems of fieldwork logistics.
The 2004 survey presented in this report covered fourteen export crops being the same number covered in the year 2002 report. They were cashew, cocoa, coffee, cotton, garlic, ginger, groundnut, gum arabic, oil palm, rubber, sesame seed, sheanut, sugarcane and tea.

Abstract
An agricultural export crop is a crop which is currently grown in Nigeria and has export potentials.
An agricultural export commodity is the product of any export crop. For example, palm oil and palm kernel are two by-products of the oil palm.
A holding is the total land area devoted to the cultivation of any of the 14 listed export crops by an individual called a farmer.
A holder is the person who owns a holding, and is therefore entitled to the proceeds from the holding.
The major objectives of the survey were as follows:
i. To ascertain the spread of the cultivation of each of the fourteen export crops within Nigeria in terms of areas
cultivated by states
ii. To ascertain the export potential of these commodities with respect to their outputs
iii. Ascertain the quantities of commodities being exported.
iv. To provide structural data on agricultural export commodities such as size of holdings, access to land and credit,
availability of processing and storage facilities among others
v. To provide socio-economic and demographic data on agricultural export commodity holders.

Scope
Notes
The Survey covered farming households involved in the selected export crops,
which covered all states in Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Allocation of sample in LGAs and States varies from a minimum of three to a
maximum of nine, based on the number of export crops grown in the state, as well as
on the intensity of cultivation.
In all, 192 LGAs were sampled nationwide with 10 EAs selected from each sampled
LGA, bringing the total number of EAs nationwide to 1920. In each EA, 10 housing
units were selected, which brought the total number of housing units covered in the
survey to 19,200.
The scopes for data collection were as follows:
Access to land by type of tenure
Area cultivated under each crop
Production in terms of output of each crop
Use of Farm Inputs -fertilizer, pesticides and improved seedlings
Access to Credit facilities
Employment
Market channels,
Farm gate and Open market prices
Consumption from own-production
Transportation and Storage
Use and access to farm Implements.
