CAUTION FOR DATA USERS

The data users should be cautious While using the data from tabulations of this
report and keep into consideration the below mentioned facts about the data
tabulations:

1 . The percentages in different columns and rows may not add up to 100, as the
components of the same have been rounded separately to whole number.

2. The components of each and every total in a column or row when added up
may not be exactly equal to the respective total due.to rounding effect.

3. The Agricultural Census 2010 could not be conducted in the agencies of
Orakzai, Kurrum, North Waziristan & South \l/aziristan and FR Central
Kurrum due to law & order situation. Therefore, the relevant aggregated
estimates have been arrived at and published without data from these
agencies and FR.

4. The data on crops / orchards acreage given in this report should be cautiously
compared with that of the acrdage data given in any other official publication
because of the methodological difbrences.

5. The data have been collected from the selected households as per sampling
plan and presented in this report. Therefore, these data may be compared
with any other relevant data with caution.

6. As per recommendation of the Advisory Committee of this census, an attempt
was made to collect data about Fish Farms as part of the main census
excluding fish catch from dams, head works, lakes and other water bodies
etc. But the data have not been published in this report due to poor response
from the field. However, the master tabulations have been retained by ACO
for future reference and guidance.

7. The number of farms includes crop farms, fruit farms (including fruit nurseries)
and flower farms (including flower nurseries). However, if fruit nurseries as
well as flower nurseries are operated separately as individual farming units,
they have been treated as separate farms.

8. The number of Government Farms and the acreage under Government
Farms always happened to be very small proportion of the total farms and
thus have not been shown in all the concerned tables.

9. ln Table 2.4 and 2.5, the data on land sold and purchased during last ten
years donot match, probably due to the exclusion of those households who
have sold their entire land.

l0.Completely uncultivated farms (Table 3.2) are those where any crop has not
been sown during the last two years i.e. census year (2009-10) and a year
before (2008-09) due to any constraint.

11. Thesymbol "-" inany cell of.tts^ +-5le stands for non.existence of data or for
not applicable. '!'r
