Edited, anonymous dataset for public use

The main objective of the Seasonal Agricultural Survey is to provide timely, accurate, reliable, and comprehensive agricultural statistics that describe the structure of agriculture in Rwanda mainly in terms of land use, crop area, yield, and crop production to monitor current agricultural and food supply conditions and to facilitate evidence-based decision making for the development of the agricultural sector.

The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) has been conducting seasonal agricultural surveys since 2012 for the estimation of the national agricultural crop area and production estimates. In the 2020/2021 agricultural year, the NISR conducted Seasonal Agricultural Survey (SAS) covering the three agricultural seasons. The SAS provides information used as a tool to assist in addressing key agricultural issues and information needs that will inform policymakers and other stakeholders and allow more effective identification of priority intervention needs.
