Summary: This table presents plot-level screening data on land use and crop characteristics during Season B (March – June 2024) of the 2023/2024 Seasonal Agricultural Survey (SAS) conducted by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda. Each record represents a specific agricultural plot and the screening information recorded for it by the farming household during the reference season. The table includes details on land use type, anti-erosion activities and their types, agroforestry practices including tree types, land consolidation status, cropping system, and crop-level characteristics such as crop name, category, proportion and density of plot coverage, number of plants for banana crops, and whether the crop was planted and will be harvested during the season.
Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, including all provinces and districts, capturing land use and crop characteristics in both rural and peri-urban areas.
Time Period: Season B of the 2023/2024 agricultural year, covering the period from March to June 2024.
Frequency: Seasonal (three times per year: Seasons A, B, and C).
Population/Units: Agricultural plots managed by small-scale and large-scale farming households in Rwanda.
Key Variables: Land use type, anti-erosion practices and types, agroforestry tree types, land consolidation status, cropping system, crop name and category, plot coverage proportion and density, number of banana plants, and planting and harvesting status.
Purpose: The table supports analysis of land use patterns, crop distribution, and farming practices at the plot and household level, contributing to agricultural planning and policy development.
Data Quality Notes: The data reflect reported screening information at the plot level for surveyed households and may not fully represent all farming activities nationwide. Reporting accuracy and coverage may vary across regions and respondents.
","databaseName":"datasharing_platform","schemaDescription":"Summary: This annual report by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) presents findings from the Seasonal Agricultural Survey (SAS) for the agricultural year 2023/2024. The survey is conducted three times per year once per growing season and consolidated into a single annual publication. It covers Season A (September 2023 – February 2024), Season B (March – June 2024), and Season C (July – September 2024), drawing data from both small-scale and large-scale farms across Rwanda.
Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, capturing agricultural activity in all provinces and districts. Data are collected from both rural and peri-urban farming contexts and allow for subnational disaggregation.
Time Period: The survey covers the agricultural year 2023/2024 across three growing seasons. Season A ran from September 2023 to February 2024, Season B from March to June 2024, and Season C from July to September 2024. The SAS is conducted annually, with each year's report consolidating data from all three seasons.
Frequency: Seasonal (three times per year: Seasons A, B, and C)
Population/Units: Small-scale and large-scale agricultural farms operating within Rwanda during the reference agricultural year.
Key Variables: Crop production and yield estimates, land use by type (seasonal crops, permanent crops, permanent pasture), improved seed use, organic and inorganic fertilizer use and anti-erosion practices all disaggregated by season.
Purpose: The SAS aims to provide timely and updated agricultural statistics to support national planning, food security monitoring, and evidence-based policy decisions. The data are used to track progress on Rwanda's agricultural development programmes and inform strategies aligned with national development priorities.
Data Quality Notes: All reported input and practice rates reflect the share of surveyed farmers and may not represent the full national farmer population. Coverage and response rates may vary across seasons and regions.
