Report on Area and Crop Production Forecast for Major Crops (Meher Season) 2019/20 (2012 E.C)
The objective of the 2019/20 (2012 E.C.), Crop Production Forecast Sample Survey is to produce basic quantitative information on area and expected production of major food crops. This information could be used as an earlier indicator to warn policy makers and planners about the emerging difficulties that result from surplus or deficit crop production in the coming main season harvest. Therefore, timely crop production forecast estimates made on the quantity of the expected production of the 2019/20 (2012 E.C.) Meher (Main) season crops prior to their harvest are used as a primary input for policy preparation and implementation of timely measures such as administering exports or imports, management of stocks and distribution of food to deficit regions, regulation of prices at the time of surplus or deficits, …etc. Moreover, quantitative data on crop production forecast will be used as input for estimating Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
