Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Supervision
In Phase 1 of the field work a technical committee was named and held several meetings discussing the objective of this survey and the best questions to be asked and covered. Forms of questionnaires were worked out. The best questionnaire was selected and modified to meet the needs of the survey. Fieldwork program was then prepared and then fieldworkers from different districts were nominated and called upon to attained training.
In Phase 2 data collection (questionnaires) started in 01/10/2013. Fieldworkers were able to reach most of the olive presses and start training them in how to fill the daily forms of the questionnaire.

Data Collection Notes
Data were collected via a special questionnaire designed in a way consistent with the objectives of the survey, in addition to the requirements of this survey. Well-trained fieldworkers conducted direct interviews with owners and managers of these presses. All operating presses were covered in this survey.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
The olive press questionnaire was designed with the aim of ensuring compatibility with other economic series surveys. Special attention was devoted to the main agricultural and economic variables to meet the needs of policy planners and decision makers in the agricultural field.
Data Processing
Data Editing
After collection of data from the field, questionnaires underwent manual editing and logical revision. Special software was used in data entry and processing. After that certain relations between variables were used in post-data entry editing.
Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
The most important observations regarding the eighth round of the Olive Press Survey for 2013 are as follows:
Statistical Errors
The survey was implemented on the basis of a comprehensive census of all studied statistical units (olive presses) and therefore this survey is free of statistical (sampling) errors.
Non-Statistical Errors
This type of error could appear in one or all stages of the survey that comprise data collection and data entry:
· Non-response errors: there was a very good response from all visited presses and no non-response cases were reported for this season.
· Response errors: these are related to respondents, field workers, and data entry personnel. To ensure data quality, a series of measures were implemented to support the accuracy of data collection and data processing, including:
1. Respondents: Data were collected on the quantities of olives pressed and olive oil extracted on a daily basis. This was to ensure reliable and accurate figures on the important indicators. Field workers visited the olive presses daily to check if data had been reported fully and correctly.
2. Field workers: A series of actions were implemented to support the accuracy of data collection via the following:
· Selection of a specialized field work team trained theoretically and practically on the survey questionnaire for four days.
· The main field work team was selected based on the training course.
· Different levels of supervision and monitoring took place according to the following hierarchy:
- Field workers: field workers for this survey were distributed throughout all governorates.
- Field work supervisors: supervisors were distributed in the north, middle, and south of the West Bank.
- Field work coordinator.
3. Data entry operators: To ensure the quality and consistency of data, a series of measures were implemented, including:
- The setting up of a data entry program prior to data collection to check the operation of the program.
- A series of validation rules were applied in the program to check the consistency of data.
- The efficiency of the program was checked through pre-testing by entering a few questionnaires and including incorrect information to monitor efficiency in capturing erroneous data.
- Well-trained data entry personnel were selected and trained for the main data entry phase.
- Data files were sent to the project management to be checked for accuracy and consistency. Notes were provided for data entry management for correction purposes.
