Woreda Level Estimates Of Agricultural Area And Production Small Area Estimation Using Auxiliary Data

This study applies small area estimation technique to analyze available agricultural datarnto estimate the total of basic agricultural variables such as total cultivated area inrnhectares and total production in quintals ofTeJJfor woredas in the Tigray Region usingrncultivated area and production data from 2001102 National Agriculture Sample CensusrnEnumeration and from Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as an auxiliaryrnvariable. An area level model for small area analysis is used to produce estimate onrncultivated area and production for 33 woreda in the Tigray Region.
