II. Improvement of data quality (cont)
– Regularly undertake agricultural annual surveys aligned
with the agricultural census.
– To assess the quality of administrative data to
complement the statistical data in the system (livestock
data at lower level, data on some specific crops, etc).
– More involvement from all the sectors of the TWG for
discussion of the data published in the website

Discrepancy Analysis
–The discrepancy between FAO STAT Data and
CountrySTAT data, is based on source of data,
used.
• FAO Stat has estimated the data
• FAO Stat has data from “early warning”
• CountrySTAT has data from (IAI)Annual
Agriculture Survey
• CountrySTAT has data from the sectors
• Lack of integration between the different data
sources

III. Areas identified for improvement
• Trade data – to provide quantity
• Sub national data
• Improvement in data collection methods in the
Annual Agriculture survey – (IAI is underway in
order to improve this gap in accordance to the
Agricultural Master Plan recently released)
• Integration between the different data sources for
agricultural stats
• CountryStat as the main hub of Agriculture
Statistics of Mozambique

on data sources for Journalist, September
2011 (performed but is meant to be an
activity remains).
 The Secretariat of CS prepared a one day
training material for the course on CountryStat
 CountrySTAT Dissemination by Province, once we
