Data for the first three countries is available from the ISSER ACEIR Data Hub. \n\nAGRA objectives are to increase farmer productivity through access to quality inputs, reduce post-harvest losses through access to post-harvest storage technologies and support farmers through an enabling policy environment. The Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER) conducted a baseline survey of farmer households in five regions in Burkina Faso. Farmer households in Boucle de Mouhoun, Cascades, Centre-Est, Centre-Ouest and Hauts-Bassins were sampled to create baseline data of farming practices, yields, post-harvest loss and other features of the value chain in the cultivation of four major crop, namely maize, rice, sorghum and cowpea. The data seeks to help identify some key challenges to the production of these crops in the five regions, and support the development and subsequent evaluation of AGRA interventions over the five-year period.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2016-11-21","end":"2016-12-24","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Burkina Faso","abbreviation":"bfa"}],"geog_coverage":"The study collected data from farmer households in five regions of Burkina Faso: Boucle de Mouhoun, Cascades, Centre-Est, Centre-Ouest, and Hauts-Bassins.","geog_unit":"The data is at the level of District and Community","analysis_unit":"Households and individuals","data_kind":"Focus group and survey data","notes":"The survey collected the following data on households:\nDemographic data and data on education and literacy of household members, household Welfare (income, employment), food security, household assets, housing characteristics and access to credit and savings, womens empoyerment, time use, and womens dietary diversity.\n\nAgricultural data collected included:\nAgricultural production and input access \nPlot characteristics and soil quality \nFarm labour \nChemical use \nAwareness of hybrid\/improved seed varieties and usage \nAgricultural mechanisation \nFarmer based organisations' (fbos) membership \nAwareness and use of extension services and agronomic practices \nCrop yields and pre-harvest crop losses \nPost-harvest storage, crop sales, processing and market price"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research","abbreviation":"ISSER","affiliation":"University of Ghana"}],"coll_mode":"Face-to-Face Interviews and Focus Groups","research_instrument":"Two data collection instruments were employed to collect data for the qualitative baseline study.
