Summary: This table presents plot-level data on fertilizer and pesticide use during Season C (July - September 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 inputs applied to it by the farming household during the reference season. The table includes information on organic fertilizer use (sources and purchase costs), inorganic fertilizer use (supplier, type, quantity, unit price, and targeted crops), micro-nutrient application, and pesticide and fungicide use, capturing up to four products per plot with details on type, quantity, and expenditure.
Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, including all provinces and districts, reflecting input use in both rural and peri-urban farming contexts.
Time Period: Season C of the 2023/2024 agricultural year, covering the period from July 2024 to September 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: Organic fertilizer sources and costs, inorganic fertilizer type and quantity, supplier information, unit prices, targeted crops, micro-nutrient use, pesticide and fungicide type, quantity applied, and total expenditure.
Purpose: The table supports analysis of agricultural input use, adoption patterns, supply chains, and farming expenditure at the plot and household level, contributing to agricultural planning and policy development.
Data Quality Notes: The data reflect reported input use 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.
