Series Information
The survey of Cost of Production of Paddy 1988 (CPP 88) had been conducted as a subsidiary survey of the Household Survey of Agricultural Sector -1987/1988. The data collection activities of CPP 88 had been scheduled to commence in end July 1988. This survey had been designed to estimate the cost opf production of paddy in seven Districts, namely Kalutara, Gampaha,Kandy, Amparai, Polonnaruwa, Kurunegala and Ratnapura.
In every round of the Household Survey of Agricultural Sector, housing units with parcels (of paddy) nearing harvesting have been identified. This survey (CPP 88) was scheduled to be conducted utilizing all parcels thus identified for each round.
The Statistical Investigators who are stationed in the relevent Districts were to visit the housing units which have been finalized for the main survey and collect the information pertaining to the parcels where cultivation had been conducted in the last harvested season. (For each parcel, one fresh scheduled had to be used).
This is the first time a Crop Estimation Survey of paddy had been conducted by the Department of Census and Statistics.

Abstract
Household Survey on Agricultural Sector 1988 has been conducted by the Department of Census and Statistics under the National Household Survey Programme. Based on this survey, a separate study was conducted in Gampaha, Kalutara, Kandy, Polonnaruwa, and Ratnapura Districts to estimate the cost of production of Paddy.
For this study , the households which carry out paddy cultivation in the above districts were identified during the Household Survey of Agriculture Sector '1988/89. From these households it was found out whether there were any parcels which had to be harvested during the following 3 months period. Such parcels were identified and all such parcels were taken for this study. A separate schedule was completed for each of these parcels.
Parcels numbering 1155 were identified as having paddy cultivation and were to be harvested during the following 3 months. Field work of this study was done by the statistical investigators of the Dept attached to those Districts.

Scope
Notes
Schedule used for this study. consisted of 2 sections other than the identification information.
Section 1 consisted of ancillary information of the parcel such as harvested season, harvested area of the parcel, variety of seed used, method of irrigation, method of planting, type of fertilizer used, method of weed control etc.
Section 2
Material used, equipment, labour used
Other farm expenditure
Utilization of other implements
Under this section there were nine different categories of activities such as
1. Nursery preparation and care.
2. Land preparation.
3. Sowing/Transplanting/Row seeding
4. Fertilization after plant establishment
5. Weed control
6. Pest and fungus control
7. Water supply
8. Crop protection from birds and animals
9. Harvesting
Quantity for each of these activities and value of material used, number of equipment used and value if hired, and household labour, Attam labour and hired labour used were collected.
Other farm expenditure such as expenditure on fuel, acerage tax/land rent, crop insurance, transport, maintenance etc were collected in this section.
In the case of implements such as mammoties, harrows, sickles, ploughs etc data like number used, average no of days used its market price were collected.
Attempts were made to collect all costs incurred in connection with the cultivation of paddy. Some costs were imputed and values were recorded if these were obtained free of charge. E.g. if seed paddy prepared at home by the farmer, imputed value of these items were recorded according to market prices.
