In this section, we would like to know whether the household is engaged in any agricultural activity i.e. crop growing, livestock or poultry raising, fish farming or game ranching.

An Agricultural Household is a household in which at least one member is carrying out some agricultural activity on the holding belonging to the household, and/or horticultural farming.

Agricultural Activity is the growing of any crop and/or raising of livestock and/or raising of poultry and/or fish farming and/or game ranching.

Holding refers to land wholly or partly operated for agricultural purposes such as growing crops and/or raising livestock and/or raising poultry for production under a single technical management. Livestock include cattle, pigs, goats, sheep and donkeys. Poultry includes chickens, Ducks, Geese, Pigeons, Guineafowls, Rabbits and Turkeys.

Zambia's agricultural season extends from 1st October of one year to 30th September of the following year.

A-1: Has your household engaged directly in any of the following agricultural activities, that is; crop growing, livestock and poultry raising, fish farming and game ranching since 1st October, 2009?

Find out from the respondent whether the household was engaged in any of the agricultural activities since 1st October, 2009. If no, skip to M1.

(Remember horticultural farming should be regarded as crop growing and should fall under other crops).
