Th ese estimates are used to validate the periodic forecast of area, pro- duction and yield brought out by the DES. Th e NCFC has also initiated work in the CHAMAN (Coordinated Horticulture Assets Management Using Geoinformatics) project designed to estimate area, production and yield of seven horticulture crops in eleven states. | 146 | definition | 1.000 | Th ese estimates are used to validate the periodic forecast of area, pro- duction and yield brought out by the DES. | 37 | page=37,block=1 | 0.850 | valid |

| What type of sampling design is typically used for GCES? | Stratifi ed multi-stage random sampling design | Stratifi ed multi-stage random sampling design is generally adopted for carrying out GCES with tehsils/taluks/revenue inspector circles/CD blocks/ anchals, etc., as strata, revenue villages within a stratum as fi rst stage unit of sampling, survey numbers/fi elds within each selected village as sampling unit at the second stage and experimental plot of a specifi ed shape and size as the ultimate unit of sampling as depicted in Figure 1.1.

| What does the FASAL scheme implemented by the Crop Forecast Coordination Centre aim to achieve? | Forecasting Agricultural Output using Space, Agro-meteorology and Land-based observations | Forecasting Agricultural Output using Space, Agro-meteorology and Land-based Observations Th e Crop Forecast Coordination Centre (CFCC), DES is implementing a central sector plan scheme “Forecasting Agricultural Output using Space, Agro-meteorology and Land-based observations (FASAL)” which is in opera- tion since August 2006. Th e scope of work of the FASAL scheme involved developing (i) econometric, (ii) Agromet and (iii) Remote Sensing (RS) based model to generate crop forecasts (i) in the beginning of the season, (ii) dur- ing mid-season crop growth and (iii) in the mid- and pre-harvest stage of crop growth respectively, at national, state and district level.

| How is the net availability of foodgrains calculated? | Gross Production (-) seed, feed and wastage, (-) exports (+) imports, (+/-) change in stocks | Notes: 1. Th e net availability of foodgrains is estimated to be Gross Production (-) seed, feed and wastage, (-) exports (+) imports, (+/-) change in stocks. 2. Th e net availability of foodgrains divided by the population estimates for a particular year indicate per capita availability of foodgrains in terms of kg/year. Net availability, thus worked out further divided by the number of days in a year, i.e., 365 days gives us net availability of foodgrains in terms of grams/day. 3. Figures in respect of per capita net availability given above are not strictly representative of actual level of consumption in the country especially as they do not take into account any change in stocks in possession of traders, producers and consumers. 4. | 65 | definition | 1.000 | Th e net availability of foodgrains is estimated to be Gross Production (-) seed, feed and wastage, (-) exports (+) imports, (+/-) change in stocks. | 299 | page=299,block=2 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is included in the definition of foodgrains? | rice, wheat, other cereals and all pulses. | For calculation of per capita net availability the fi gures of net imports from 1981 to 1994 are based on imports and exports on Government of India account only. Net imports from 1995 onwards are the total exports and imports (on Government as well as private accounts). 5. Foodgrains include rice, wheat, other cereals and all pulses. 6.

| What is the definition of yield rate in agriculture? | production per unit of area. | Advance Estimates Th e estimates of area, production and yield rates for 2013-14 are “advance estimates” as on 14 August 2014 and are based on deliberations held in weekly inter-disciplinary meetings of Crop Weather Watch Group, regarding availability of water in important reservoirs in the country, availability/ supply of important inputs including credit to farmers community, feedback received from states etc. Th ese estimates are “advance” in the sense that these have been prepared in advance of availability of results of Crop Cutting Experiments (CCE) and are subject to revision as more precise information fl ows from states to Directorate of Economics and Statistics (DES). Yield Yield rate is defi ned as production per unit of area. | 719 | definition | 1.000 | Yield Yield rate is defi ned as production per unit of area. | 453 | page=453,block=2 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is the equation used to determine net availability of foodgrains? | NAF = GP – SFW - e + i + s | Net Availability of Foodgrains Th e net availability of foodgrains (NAF) is defi ned as, where NAF = GP – SFW - e + i + s where: NAF = Net Availability of Foodgrains GP = Gross Production of Foodgrains SFW = Seed, Feed and Wastages of Foodgrains e = Exports of Foodgrains i = Imports of Foodgrains s = Change in Stocks of Foodgrains To calculate the per capita net availability of foodgrains in terms of kg per year, NAF is divided by the estimated population for a particular year. When this is further divided by the number of days in a year, i.e., 365 days, it gives net availability of foodgrains per day. | 95 | definition | 1.000 | Net Availability of Foodgrains Th e net availability of foodgrains (NAF) is defi ned as, where NAF = GP – SFW - e + i + s where: NAF = Net Availability of Foodgrains GP = Gross Production of Foodgrains SFW = Seed, Feed and Wastages of Foodgrains e = Exports of Foodgrains i = Imports of Foodgrains s = Change in Stocks of Foodgrains To calculate the per capita net availability of foodgrains in terms of kg per year, NAF is divided by the estimated population for a particular year. | 454 | page=454,block=1 | ||
