Abstract

The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) carried out the National Agricultural Survey 2019 (ENA 2019) to offer statistics on the production of crops and livestock species that are characterized by being the ones that mostly participate in the Gross Domestic Product of the primary sector in Mexico and which, according to the Sustainable Rural Development Law, are those products for which the State seeks the supply, promoting their access to less favored social groups. Likewise, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) considers them essential for food security, agricultural sustainability and rural development.

The ENA 2019 allows to continue obtaining basic and structural statistics of the agricultural and livestock sector, as it is the fourth version of a series of National Agricultural Surveys that INEGI carried out in the years 2012, 2014 and 2017. This survey, in addition to allowing to know The current characteristics of the agricultural production units has been enriched in terms of the results achieved, because, for some priority crops in the Federal Government programs, data was obtained from the small and medium-sized units that have the smallest area planted in the country.

Geographic coverage

National and by Federative Entity.

Analysis unit

For ENA 2019, the Observation Unit is defined as the economic unit made up of one or more pieces of land located in the same municipality, where at least some of them carry out agricultural or forestry activities, under the control of the same administration. If the administration has land located in another municipality, it is considered as another production unit; that is, there will be as many production units as municipalities occupying their land.

Universe

The universe selected for the ENA 2019 was 79,252 production-product units, equivalent to 69,124 production units from which information of interest was obtained. These units come from the Update of the 2016 Agricultural Census Framework (AMCA 2016) and updated with information from the 2017 National Agricultural Survey (ENA 2017). This universe was defined from the 28 products of national interest, 5 of these livestock products being of economic importance for the country.

The products selected for the conformation of the universe of work of the ENA 2019 are 29 products, 24 agricultural: Avocado, Alfalfa, Amaranth, Rice, Cocoa, Coffee, Pumpkin, Sugar Cane, Onion, Chile, Strawberry, Bean, Tomato (Tomato Red), Lemon, White Corn, Yellow Corn, Mango, Apple, Orange, Banana, Sorghum, Soya, Wheat and Grape; while the five species and livestock products were made up of Bovines, Porcine, Poultry, Milk and Egg.

Sampling procedure

SAMPLE DESIGN The elements considered for the definition and construction of the sampling scheme of the 2019 National Agricultural Survey (ENA 2019), help determine the size, selection and distribution of the sample; Necessary and substantial elements to define the precision of the information, as well as the analysis of the uptake for the evaluation of the final estimates, through calculations such as the variance and the coefficient of variation.

TARGET POPULATION It is defined by all production units captured in the 2016 Agricultural Census Framework Update (AMCA 2016), updated with information from the 2017 National Agricultural Survey (ENA 2017) for the part of agricultural products and for the part of livestock producers it is taken of the 2007 Agricultural, Livestock and Forestry Census updated with the 2017 ENA that reported, at that time, producing any of the products of interest, classified according to their importance of national and/or state interest.

GEOGRAPHICAL AND SECTOR COVERAGE The survey was designed to obtain information at the national level for the products of interest and for each of the states for their main products.

DOMAIN OF STUDY It refers to subsets of the population under study for which it is intended to obtain information and for which a sample is designed independently for each of them. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that of the 29 products of the ENA 2019 work universe, 26 had a stratified probabilistic design (for purposes of the sample design, corn counts as a single product regardless of whether it is white grain corn or yellow grain corn , reason for which there are 26 and not 27 products); while for poultry and egg products, a non-probabilistic design was considered. The subsets under study are presented below: A. NATIONAL DOMAIN. Each of the 26 products by producer size (large and small and medium producers), obtaining a total of 52 domains, the products considered (Avocado, Alfalfa, Amaranth, Rice, Cattle, Cocoa, Coffee, Pumpkin, Sugarcane, Onion, Chile, Strawberry, Bean, Tomato (Red tomato), Milk, Lemon, Corn, Mango, Apple, Orange, Banana, Pork, Sorghum, Soy, Wheat, Grape). B. PRODUCT-FEDERAL ENTITY DOMAIN. For the main federal entities by producer size, for this case 60 product-federal entity domains were considered. C. DOMAIN PRODUCT-FEDERAL ENTITY-SIZE OF PRODUCTION UNIT BY AREA. (For ten products, the federative entity domain-size of production unit per area is necessary) for this case, 384 domains were considered.

SAMPLING UNIT The observation unit is the Production Unit (UDP), defined as: The economic unit made up of one or more pieces of land located in the same municipality, where at least some of them carry out agricultural or forestry activities, under the control of the same administration. Under this context, the sampling unit is the production-product unit. If the production unit has more than one product or crop, it will be included in two or more study domains.

SAMPLING FRAME It was integrated from two different sources: A. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS: the framework derived from the AMCA 2016, updated with the results of the ENA 2017, was the input for determining the sampling framework of the ENA 2019. B. LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS: the 2007 Agricultural, Livestock and Forestry Census, updated with the results of the 2017 ENA.

STRATIFICATION For agricultural products, the variable of interest for stratification was the planted area in hectares (ha), depending on the characteristics of the crop, from four to six strata. The determination of the ranges of the strata is obtained by the Dalenius-Hodges method. According to William G. Cochran (1977), "for a single feature or variable, the best feature is, of course, the frequency distribution. The next best is probably the frequency distribution, given the number of strata, the equations for determining the best limits between them under Neyman proportional assignment, have been obtained by Dalenius (1957)". For livestock products, the number of heads variable was used.

SAMPLING SCHEME For the products of interest, both large and small and medium producers, the sampling design is stratified probabilistic with simple random selection within each study domain: A. PROBABILISTIC. The selection units had a known, non-zero probability of being selected. B. STRATIFIED. Sampling units with similar characteristics were grouped to form strata. The results of the sample are generalized to the entire population and it is possible to know the precision of the results.

SAMPLE SIZE Different sample sizes were calculated for: A. SAMPLE SIZE FOR DOMAINS AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL (PRODUCT). For products of national interest, the sample size obtained for these domains is 19,320 production-product units; 10,968 for large producers and 8,352 for small and medium producers. B. SAMPLE SIZES FOR DOMAINS AT THE PRODUCT-FEDERAL ENTITY LEVEL. For products of state interest, the sample size obtained for these domains is 19,320 production-product units; 10,968 for large producers and 8,352 for small and medium producers. C. SAMPLE SIZES FOR DOMAINS AT THE PRODUCT-FEDERAL ENTITY-SIZE OF PRODUCTION UNIT LEVEL BY AREA. In this case, the calculation differentiated by producer size was made, in such a way that the sample size for small and medium-sized producers was strengthened, according to the following considerations: Yo. DOMAIN OF LARGE PRODUCERS. The sample size obtained for these domains is 3,255 production-product units. ii. DOMAIN OF SMALL AND MEDIUM PRODUCERS. The sample size obtained for these domains is 7,355 production-product units. D. SAMPLE SIZES FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS Yo. DOMAIN OF LARGE PRODUCERS. For the bovine product, a relative error of 14% was considered for the national design sample. ii. The sample size obtained for these domains is 10,554 units. The interest of bovines is both the number of stocks and milk production.

SAMPLE ALLOCATION. For the three large levels of interest, (National (product), Product-federative entity and Product-federative entity-size of production unit by area). The sample was assigned in each stratum by the Neyman method according to the planted area or number of heads. Except for small and medium-sized producers in the domains at the product-federative entity-size of production unit per area level.

SAMPLE SELECTION It is performed randomly and independently for each study domain. The sample selected for the design is 79,252 production-product units, equivalent to 69,124 production units in which information of interest is obtained.

CALCULATION OF EXPANSION FACTORS Three different types of expansion factors were calculated, which are: A. Production-product unit expansion factors (for each production-product unit) B. Production unit expansion factors (based on design expansion factors for production-product units) C. Producer expansion factors (for each producer, based on design expansion factors for production-product units)

ADJUSTMENT TO EXPANSION FACTORS A. Expansion
