DATA COLLECTION STRATEGY
The NBS permanent field staff carried out the data collection during the survey year. Each household head or a responsible adult in the household gave information about the household visited. Data collection was carried out in September, 2006.
The field staff includes interviewers (enumerators) and supervisors while the field coordinators comprised the state officers and zonal Controllers. Each state officer coordinated all field operations while the zonal controllers supervised the states in each zone.
Teams of (2, 3 or 4) enumerators per (8, 10, 11 or 12) EAs were arranged in all the states and FCT, a supervisor to a team of enumerators. The sample list of selected EAs for each state and FCT must have been distributed at the training venues for the data collection.
FIELD ORGANISATION
Listing exercise began on the 4th August, 2006. Thereafter, ten (10) export farming housing units (EFHUs) were selected for coverage.
The Enumerators administered the holding questionnaire(s) to all qualified agricultural export commodity farmers in each of the selected EAs, this lasted for two weeks. Through this exercise, relevant information on production, processing, market channels, credit facilities, farm inputs and other agronomic indictors were obtained from the farmers.

SPERVISION/QUALITY CHECK
In order to ensure a high quality data, two phased quality check exercises were put in place. During the first exercise, the officers skim-checked and spot-checked the listing forms and ten selected questionnaires in the selected EAs in each State and FCT. Farmers were randomly selected and visited on their farms to authenticate the data entries made by enumerators.
In the second exercise, the headquarters based quality check was carried out by the highly trained officers from Federal Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development, Federal Ministry of Commerce, National Bureau of Statistics and the Central Bank of Nigeria. This exercise was carried out in eighteen weak states (i.e. three states per zone) which lasted for three days.
