Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample is a one-stage stratified simple random sample. The sample size is 5,024 agricultural holdings in all of the Palestinian Territory, and it is large enough to obtain reliable estimates on a regional level (north, middle, south of the West Bank) in addition to Gaza Strip. The sampling frame consisted of enumerated agricultural holdings in the agricultural holdings enumeration activity which was implemented by PCBS in 2004. The agricultural holdings meet the criteria of the agricultural holding had been separated, according to the definition of type of agricultural holding
Sample Size
The sample size is 5,024 agricultural holdings in all of the Palestinian Territory, and it is large enough to obtain reliable estimates on a regional level (North, Middle, South of the West Bank, and Gaza Strip) in addition to crop type.

Response Rate
·Response rate 92.5%
Weighting
The preliminary weights of the survey were calculated while drawing the sample. After conducting the survey the weights were adjusted to deal with the non-response cases that emerged during the data collection process. When computed the estimations of the survey indicators, compute the weights was done, where it has a weight for each analysis unit suit with the selection probability of the unit.
Adjusting weights is important to reduce bias resulting from the non-response cases. Also adjusting gives consideration to the number and area of the agricultural holdings in the Palestinian Territory, and their distribution according to size groups and the main activity of the agricultural holding. Therefore, the results, estimates and percentages of this survey represent the reality in the Palestinian Territory

Data Processing
Data Editing
Preparation of Data Entry Programme:
At this stage the data entry program was prepared using the ACCESS package. Data entry screens were designed. Also, rules of entry were established in a manner that guarantees successful entry of questionnaires and queries to check data after each entry. These queries examine the variables on the questionnaire level.
- Organization and Management of Data Entry:
The Information Systems and Computer Directorate prepared the data entry program; the directorate also supervised the data entry process and applied the required validation rules to edit the data. The directorate was also responsible to select and train the data entry personnel.
- Data Entry Personnel Training:
Before the start of the data entry, data entry personnel were trained on the use of the data entry program and then how to enter data into the computerized database.
- Editing of the Entered Data:
There are specific rules for data editing which connect the different indicators of the questionnaires logically with each other, so that errors in any questionnaire are treated immediately and data re-entered to get clean data.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Statistical Errors
Data of this survey affected by statistical errors due to use the sample, Therefore, the emergence of certain differences from the real values expect obtained through censuses. It had been calculated variation of the most important indicators exists and the facility with the report. and the dissemination levels of the data were particularized at the regional level in the West Bank (North, Middle, South) and Gaza Strip, due to the sample design and the variance calculations for the different indicators.
Non-Statistical Errors
Non-statistical errors are probable in all stages of the project, during data collection or processing. This is referred to as non-response errors, response errors, interviewing errors, and data entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce their effects, great efforts were made to train the fieldworkers intensively. They were trained in how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid, carrying out a pilot survey and practical and theoretical training during the training course.
