Agriculture Statistics play an important and primary role towards the Economic Development/Program, Stability of Import/Export price policy/regulation, Food Budget & Food Security, Provision of industrial raw material and other development projects. Therefore, timely and accurate acreage, production and yield estimation of the cultivated crops in the province/country is very important. Crop Reporting Service, Agriculture, Livestock & Cooperation Department Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through its field survey work, prepares Tehsil/District-wise crop estimates for Kharif and Rabi seasons every year for all major & minor crops (including fruits, orchards & vegetables). The Crop Estimates are sent to the Provincial/Federal Government for final publication, after subsequent approval from the Provincial Agricultural Coordination Committee (PACC). The field reports of Agriculture Department, prepared by the field staff in the selected villages, are given due importance for the Crop Estimation Work. Out of the total 7337 villages in the province, 477 villages have been selected for the crop estimation work.
