The Supplemental Survey survey is the first return visit to the households who were interviewed during the Post Harvest Survey in 2000. The purpose of the PHS Supplemental Survey was to obtain information from 99/00 PHS respondent households to supplement the information already collected. This survey was aimed at studying options to improve crop production and marketing, and food consumption among small farmers. Information collected includes demographic data, off-farm income activities and earnings, land holding, actual estimates of crop sales and purchases, fertilizer purchases, cotton production, services offered by farmer organizations, farmer adoption of conservation farming practices, milk and egg production/sales, asset holding and current crop forecasting estimates.

Version
2001-03
Although we specify this version of the dataset as 1.0, we are aware that there have been previous versions of this data. The FSRP has not made it clear whether or not these previous versions are or were publically available. There was, however, an apparent discrepancy between the number of observations in the crop and field datafiles and the reported number of observations in the documentation for those same datafiles in a previous version. The FSRP was contacted and provided the updated documentation. The discrepancy apparently arose from file updates as the FSRP found problem cases which were not immediately updated in the documentation available online. This does suggest that there has been some form of official, public release previously, but to DataFirst's knowledge these releases have not been assigned version numbers. The user should note, then, that this version number only applies to the study metadata created by DataFirst.

Coverage
National coverage
The survey covered all respondents interviewed during the 1999/2000 post-harvest survey. The post-harvest survey took draws from a subset of Standard Enumeration Areas (SEAs) which were defined according to the 1990 census. The ministry of housing and agriculture defined this subset as the sampling frame for agricultural surveys.

Sampling
The Zambia Post-Harvest Survey (PHS) was first conducted in 1990 by The Zambian Central Statistical Office (CSO). The sampling frame for this survey was based on the census supervisory areas (CSAs) and standard enumeration areas (SEAs) defined for the 1990 Zambia Census of Population and Housing. A stratified three-stage sample design was used for the PHS. The stratification of the sampling frame was originally based on the 53 old districts, but this was later changed to the 68 new districts. The primary sampling units (PSUs) were the CSAs, selected with probability proportional to size (PPS) within each stratum. At the second stage one SEA was generally selected within each sample CSA, also with PPS; a few CSAs have more than one SEA selected. A new listing was conducted within each sample SEA (a new listing of households; this happened every year the PHS was conducted), and households were selected at the third sampling stage within two farm size categories (A and B). Category A farms were defined as those with 0 to 4.99 hectares and Category B with 5 to 19.99 hectares.
In 2001 the Supplemental Survey was conducted using the panel of the sample households selected for the 1999/2000 PHS. All of the sample households in the 1999/2000 PHS that were found in the sample SEAs in 2001 were included in the sample for the Supplemental Survey.
