xii FOREWORD

BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

Up to 1954, agricultural surveys used to be held every year under the provisions of the Agricultural Returns Ordinance 1935 as amended by Act XIX of 1949 and fell within the remit of the Department of Agriculture. With the enactment of the Statistics Act in 1955, the responsibility for the holding and administration of the Census of Agriculture was transferred to the Government Statistician. Accordingly, from 1955 onwards, this census was carried out every year by the Central Office of Statistics, now the National Statistics Office.

The last Census of Agriculture was held in 1982/83. Since then, there was a prolonged and regrettable break in the holding of the census. This volume, incorporating the results of the Census of Agriculture 2001, is the first publication of its kind to appear since the early 1980s.

CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 2001

The Census provides a point-in-time stocktaking of arable land, livestock, the agricultural work force, agricultural production and machinery. These topics are all covered in this publication which also provides two very useful additional sections. These are: Time Series , providing a thirty-year span of various aspects of agricultural statistics, and Summary Tables, providing concise overviews of various tables in the publication.

The Census of Agriculture 2001 is characterised by a series of fully- comprehensive tables, the significance of which is unstintingly borne out by graphical depictions. All in all, I am sure that it will prove a useful addition to the literature on the subject, as well as incorporating a snapshot of an industry which is an ancient and venerable one in our Islands. Having said that, it has also updated itself with the times, contributing significantly to the tourist industry and to the upholding of rurality in Malta and Gozo.

Census of Agriculture – 2001 Methodological Report

PURPOSE OF AGRICULTURAL CENSUS

The purpose of the Census is to collect detailed data on the agricultural sector for management and planning purposes. This will help establish policies for the sector. All definitions and classifications used are in compliance to EU legislation on agricultural statistics.

OBSERVATION UNITS AND COVERAGE

In 1999 the Agriculture Statistics Unit carried out a postal Survey and updated the farmers’ register. All administrative registers were used to re-establish the agricultural holdings register and these included market sales lists, fruit tree purchases, Farmers’ Registration Code (FRC) and records of commercial sales to agriculture related industries. A 12,127 register was established. All agricultural holdings in the register were observed. No thresholds were applied. The only data which was not collected was less than three fruit trees of the same species and ten or less vines on the holding, as these represented less than 0.001 ha. The data appearing in this publication is “As per holder’s declarations”.

STATISTICAL LEGISLATION

All statistical data was collected in terms of the Malta Statistics Authority Act XXIV, 2000. This is a powerful legislation that penalizes non-respondents for failing to give information or respondents giving false declarations.

CENSUS REFERENCE DATE

It was decided that the Census date with regards to land, animals and machinery would be the 30th September 2001. The production period covered the dates from the 1st October 2000 to the 30th September 2001.

THE QUESTIONNAIRE

The ASA Institute in Bonn were asked to provide technical assistance in the implementation of the Agricultural Census. A two-day mission was carried out between the 30th July and 1st August to establish the two questionnaires. The Ministry of Agriculture was consulted and their input was taken into account.

PUBLICITY AND MEDIA

Publicity for the census operation was provided through the media and educational leaflets were sent out to all the holdings, informing them about the holding of the census and providing some general information. Fifteen days prior to the Census another specific leaflet was sent to the two different categories of holdings. The leaflets contained information about those taking part in the census, the objective, a timetable of the opening of schools, the documents that were to be provided to the interviewers at the census centres. Two sets of

leaflets were sent to the different categories of holdings. Paid television slots were also made and coverage was given in news bulletins.

TWO QUESTIONNAIRES - POSTAL AND PERSONAL INTERVIEWING

The holdings were grouped into two categories. In the first category, holdings having less than 0.3 ha of agricultural ‘dry land’ and no means of irrigation were served with a postal questionnaire. The nature of these holdings was quite straightforward as such holdings with no irrigation, normally grow fodder, potatoes and onions. These holdings depended entirely on the rainy season. The rest of the holders having all other agricultural activities were interviewed personally at the Government primary schools. This decision was taken in order to improve the accuracy of the results.

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

Talks were held with the Ministry of Education in order to make available to the NSO a number of classrooms in Government primary schools in all the villages for interviewing purposes. Since the number of holdings differs from one village to the other, the school opening days were staggered over the three-week period of the census. Opening days at schools were determined by the number of holdings in different villages in order to have an even amount of interviewing time for every interviewer. On average, this was around 30 minutes per holder. Caretakers, provided by the Ministry of Education, were responsible for the opening and closing of schools during the Census.

DISTRICTS

The holdings were divided into thirteen districts, nine in Malta and four in Gozo and Comino. A supervisor and a number of enumerators were assigned to each district.

SELECTION OF SUPERVISORS AND ENUMERATORS

A call for applications was made within the National Statistics Office and the Ministry of Agriculture in order to fill in the number of posts needed to carry out the Census. Preference was given to applicants with previous experience. The posts of Supervisors were strictly filled in with personnel having experience in previous censuses.

BRIEFING

In all, six briefing sessions were held, two for each group. A thorough explanation of the questionnaire and the census operation was provided to all enumerators. In addition to this, a set of instructions and guidelines were also made available to all enumerators and supervisors, in order to help them to assess the answers to their questions during the interviews. Benchmarks on production were also handed out to all enumerators. Besides the briefing sessions, supervisors were given specific briefing instructions, since their role in the census carried other responsibilities.

UNIT SNAPSHOT

Between 1999 and 2001, the Agricultural Statistics Unit carried out a number of Surveys. These were the Land and Greenhouse Survey, The Viticulture Survey, Pig Survey and Cattle Survey. Official administrative records were made available to the National Statistics Office such as the potato export, the market sales and transactions and the official borehole licensing. All these records were linked and funnelled into the respective single holdings. The

xvi

‘Unit Snapshot’ of every holding was available to the enumerators and these in turn could check instantly the declarations made by the farmer. This proved to be an effective and powerful tool to get the most accurate results.

APPOINTMENT WITH FARMERS

The census interviews were he held over a three-week period, starting from the 22nd October until the 11th November. All farmers were given an appointment to attend the enumeration locality at their own village. If the appointment was not kept, the farmers were given a copy of the timetable and were asked to attend one of the localities within their own district. On the reverse side of the notice, a standard list of expenses was listed so that it could be filled in before attending one of the centres. This option was given so as to cut on time spent at the centres. The option of filling in the ‘expenses questionnaire’ could also have been filled in during the census.

MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION

All enumerators and supervisors carried means of identification at the centres. This carried personal details together with a photo and was countersigned by the Director General of the NSO.

CO-ORDINATORS

Six co-ordinators were detailed to inspect all supervisors and enumerators in their work. Checks for quality purposes were done on a daily basis throughout the census.

CONTROL AND MONITORING OF CENSUS

The census questionnaire was designed to have a detachable slip in which everyday the enumerated holdings were being monitored and the data entered into a computer system. Hence, full control of the response rate was being kept on a daily basis. Non- respondents were sent two reminders in which the Statistics Legislation was quoted for non co-operation. This helped to get a response rate at 92% of all registered holdings.

FOLLOW-UP

The closing date of the census was the 11th November 2001. Immediately, a follow-up was taken in hand. Non-respondents were given the opportunity to fill in the questionnaire at the Agricultural ‘Extension Services’ till the end of January 2002. This pushed up the response rate by a further 3 per cent to 95 per cent.

SECTION 1 LAND AREA DRY LAND (BAGHLI)

‘Dry land’ is land which depends on the AGRICULTURAL HOLDING rainy season but may be watered on a few occasions. Agricultural holding is a single unit which has a single management and which produces agricultural products. A holding IRRIGATED LAND (SAQWI) may have agricultural land in different localities and hence, all information related ‘Irrigated land’ is land which has a to it is taken at the holder’s residence. continuous supply of water all the year round, irrespective of whether it has a natural spring, served by second class UTILISED AGRICULTURAL AREA water, or water supplied by other sources.

Commentary

LAND AREA

In a span of 18 years, since the last Census of Agriculture carried out in 1982/83, the total land area declared by the holders declined by 11 per cent. A total of 10,148.6 ha of agricultural land was recorded in October 2001 as against 11,491.0 ha declared in the Agricultural Census in 1983. There was a significant shift in the type of agricultural land from ‘dry’ land to ‘irrigated’ land. Whilst, a 260 per cent increase, from 580.0 ha to 1,508.8 ha, was recorded in the ‘irrigated’ classification, which means a shift of 928.8 ha of ‘dry land’ to ‘irrigated land’ there was a loss of 1,342.4 ha of ‘dry’ land in these last 18 years. A total of 960 ha, representing 63.4 per cent of the ‘irrigated’ land is found in the Western and Northern districts with a predominance in the locality of St. Paul’s bay area, which accounts to 13.9 per cent of the total for the Maltese Islands. On average, 19.6 per cent of the total agricultural land area is owner occupied.

An average of 4.8 per cent of the agricultural area is unutilised or abandoned. While the island of Malta has 255.8 ha, Gozo has 236.3 ha of unutilised land area, representing 3.1 per cent and 12.1 per cent of the total agricultural land area, respectively.

Looking into more detail, the composition of the agricultural land area, this could be classified as having 9,656.5 ha of UAA, of which 1,268.4 ha (13.1 per cent) were ‘fallow’ during the census period. A high percentage of fallow land was recorded in Dingli, Siggiewi and Rabat, with 34.1, 21.1 and 18.1 per cent respectively.

The physical land area worked by the farmer was recorded at 8388.2 ha and this was broken down by 7,471.0 ha arable land, 490.1 ha was land under vines and 427.1 ha was land under orchards. Just over half of the total arable land area is found in the Western and Northern districts where these account for 51.3 per cent of the total arable land in the Maltese Islands. The island of Gozo accounts for 20.1 per cent of the total arable land. Both land under vineyards and land under orchards are predominantly found in these two districts where 406.1 ha and 309.5 ha of land respectively.

A significant feature of Maltese agriculture is the fragmentation of the land. Holdings with less than 1 ha of agricultural land account to 58.4 per cent of the total holders. Between them, they have a total of 5,927.1 ha or 58.4 per cent of the total agricultural land area. Holdings having between 1 and 5 ha of agricultural land represent 36.9 per cent or 3,742.4 ha. The remaining 479 ha, which represent 4.7 per cent of the total agricultural area have over 5 ha of land. With reference to fragmentation, orchards and vineyards follow the same characteristics with regards to the land area, where 346.8 ha out of 427.1 ha of orchards and 397.7 out of a total of 490.1 ha of vineyards are smaller than 1 ha of land.

The number of greenhouses shot up from 275 units to 1,027 units from 1983 to 2001 and this represented an increase of 353 per cent.

A total of 11,959 holdings were registered and 591 of the holdings do not have any land area. These 591 holdings are engaged in other agricultural activity such as herdsmen, pig breeders and poultry farms. A total of 5,022 holders (42 per cent), have 1,065 ha of land or 10.0 per cent of the total agricultural land. Another 3,321

xxi holders have between them 2,040.0 ha (20 per cent) with land ranging between 0.5 ha and 1 ha. The remaining 3,025 holders have 6,502.0 ha between them (64.1 per cent) with a land area averaging over 1 ha. On the other hand, 21.5 per cent of cattle and granivores are found on the sister island of Gozo.

Although ‘garigue’ land has no significance in the agricultural sector, since the last census, a drop of 55 ha was recorded by the farmer’s holdings.

AREA UNDER CROP

A total of 4,464 ha under fodder were cultivated. Wheat and barley were the two major crops which accounted for 90 per cent of the total land area under fodder. 1157 holdings had more than half the land area under fodder.

Field crops accounted to 3,639 ha of land area, with potatoes being the major crop, covering an area of 1,154 ha. A total of 7,384 holdings grew this commodity with the majority of the holdings being found in the south eastern district. Beans, tomatoes and onions are the three important crops which follow the potatoes crop. These have a land area of 358 ha, 352 ha and 324 ha respectively. Sixty six per cent of the land area under crop is smaller than 0.448 ha.

Out of a total 481.7 ha of productive vineyards, 129.2 ha or 26.8 per cent are quality vine varieties, 209.5 ha or 43.5 per cent non-quality vines and 142.9 ha or 29.7 per cent are vineyards producing table grapes. The majority of the vineyards are found in the Western and Northern districts where an area of 384.1 ha of vines are found, accounting for 79.7 per cent of the total vineyards on the Maltese Islands.

LIVESTOCK AND OTHER ANIMALS

According to the census data, 281 farms were engaged in cattle breeding with a total population of 18,417 heads. The dairy cow population stood at 8,332 heads on census day, and 30.0 per cent of them are found on the sister island of Gozo. A total of 5,148 cattle younger than one year old and 3,432 aged between one and two years old were recorded.

Pig production is the most important sector with 157 holdings having a total of 81,841 heads. The south eastern district together with the western district, account for 53.2 per cent of the total population and have a total of 43,556 heads.

A total of 10,376 sheep and 3,930 goats were recorded during Census day. It should be noted that small units and having no other agriculture activity may not have been captured for Census purposes.

There was a total of 847 farms and holdings with a population of 1.9 million heads in the poultry industry. Broiler production is the most important sector in the industry and a total of 1.2 million heads were recorded on census day. The poultry breeding is concentrated in the western district followed closely by the northern district and the island of Gozo. A total of 0.4 million layers were recorded.

The turkey and duck population is not as large as the broiler population and just under 5,000 and 1,460 heads respectively, were recorded during the census.

xxii Although, rabbit breeding has always been accepted as being a ‘backyard industry’ with many breeders practicing their activities outside the agricultural sector, a total of 55,254 heads were recorded on census day.

LABOUR FORCE

In the Maltese archipelago, there are 14,113 persons engaged in agricultural activities and these are made up of 1,524 full-time and 12,589 part-time workers. These include 68 persons actively engaged in Government employment. The female input in agriculture activities stands at 13.8 per cent of the total workforce and these amount to 1,951 workers.

In order to classify the different domains in the agricultural sector, the typology classification was used and based on the major activity within the sector. The standard classification used is the economic size of the holding, using the SGM factor to determine the main activity.

Full-time farmers engaged in crop production amount to 1,005 persons, 195 persons are engaged in the cattle/sheep/ goats sector, 241 persons working in the pig/poultry industry while the remaining 83 persons have mixed livestock and cropping. The full- time gainfully occupied persons in agriculture, represent 1.1 per cent of the total gainfully occupied population, which stood at 138,396 during the census period.

Full-time female employment is lower than the average of total employment in the sector. There were 119 female workers, representing 7.8 per cent of the total full time employment.

Persons working in the different age groups in the agricultural sector are evenly spread. There were 281 full-timers under the 35 year bracket, 388 workers were in the 35 to 44 year bracket, 543 workers were in the 45 to 54 year bracket and the remaining 312 workers were over 55 years of age. This is 18.4 per cent, 25.5 per cent, 35.6 per cent and 20.5 per cent respectively.

In the case of part-time workers, 12,589 are registered as being contributors to the sector. The female population is made up of 1,832 persons or 14.6 per cent of all part timers. It may be concluded that part-timers nearing or over retirement age, may be made up of hobby farming with 5,173 persons (41.1 per cent) engaged are over the 55 year bracket. Only 1,613 persons are below the 35 years of age bracket and these represent only 10.5 per cent of the total part time work force.

Although the part-timers outnumber the full-timers by eight to one, the contribution to the sector could only be gauged by the number of hours worked. In all, the part- timers worked 4.76 million hours and this is equivalent to 2,644 AWU, or full-time yearly equivalent, during the census period.

Most of the full-timers are family workers and do not receive a wage for their work. The breakdown of the 1,524 full-timers is as follows:- 1,278 are family unpaid persons, 113 family workers who receive a wage and 133 are non-family wage earners. There are also 184 persons engaged in part-time work and receive a wage.

The agricultural sector is mainly based on practical experience and this accounts to 11,135 farmers out of a total of 14,113. This represents 78.9 per cent. Only 535 persons (3.8 per cent) of the total workforce declared to have undergone ‘basic’ or

xxiii ‘full agricultural’ training. A total of 2,443 farmers did not declare their educational background in agriculture.

Contract workers, mainly involved in the sector during the harvest period, contributed marginally. Collectively, these worked 5,495,full time days. Casual workers also gave their input to the sector and in all they worked a total of 66 AWU.

MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT

With the land fragmentation being the characteristic of the agricultural land, the majority of agricultural holdings are served by small units such as rotary cultivators, which amount to 7,824units. Tractors which are normally used for the more intensive farming are not found with high engine power and 45.3 per cent of all tractors are below 10 hp.

There seems to be an accelerated investment in the agriculture development in the last seven years. Although the year of purchase was not declared in some instance in the different categories, there were 2,076 rotary cultivators out of a total of 7,824 which represents 26.5 per cent. Tractors were put in service in the last seven years, amounted to 761 and this represented 38.1 per cent. Total attachments showed a significant increase in the 1994-1999 year bracket and this represented 40.4 per cent of total attachments.

A significant increase of irrigation pumps was evident in post 1994 era with 2,790 being purchased. This represents 48.0 per cent of all pumps installed to irrigate the land. The most popular type of pump used is the smaller 1 – 5 hp category.

As expected, these pumps are found in the western and northern districts where irrigated agricultural land is more predominant than other districts. While rotary cultivators, tractors and attachments found in Gozo represent around 24 per cent of the total, irrigation pumps in Gozo represent 16.9 per cent of the total found in the Maltese Islands.

MISCELLANEOUS

A total of 1,027 greenhouses, covering 511,677 square metres were registered in October 2001, of which, 81 per cent of all greenhouses are made up of metal/polythene material.

Out of a total 1508.8 ha of irrigated agricultural land, 1220.5 ha are served by ‘drip irrigation’. An area of 781.9 ha of ‘drip irrigation’ is found in the western and northern districts. Cloches are abundantly found in the locality of Mġarr, where 41.7 ha of crop under cloches are grown. The northern district where Mġarr is found has a total of 67.4 ha of cloches, representing 65.6 per cent on the island of Malta.

More than half of the reservoirs and wells were constructed before the 1975. A total of 2,623 units were undeclared as these were unable to determine the year of construction, most probably also belonging to the pre-1975 period.

Windmills, which were predominant earlier in the century, still grace the landscape and 301 of them are still being used and are mostly found in the western district.

xxiv TYPOLOGY OF AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS

The economic nature of the farm is based on two essential characteristics; the type of farming and the economic size of the holding. To meet these two criteria, the concept of Standard Gross Margin is used. For practical reasons, it was decided from the beginning to use a simplified version of the gross margins. The simplified SGM’s includes only those specific variable costs which can be readily allocated to each line of production. Individual SGM’s were checked and compiled to Eurostat methodology format.

5,068 holdings (46.1 per cent) out of a total of 10,988 have an output of less than 2 ESU per holding and a gross income of Lm2.2 million or 5.8 per cent of the total output. 2175 holdings (18 per cent) and 1044 holdings (9.8 per cent) have a combined output of Lm5.7 million or 14.4 per cent of the total output.

It is very interesting to highlight the fact that 13.7 per cent of the holdings produce 67.2 per cent of the total agricultural output. These holdings are in the bracket over Size Class VI, with an output exceeding Lm5,760. Also, 352 holdings (3.2 per cent) are involved in livestock/granivores Typology codes 5 and 7 and between them, these produce Lm7.1 million out of Lm39.5 million, which is equivalent to 18 per cent of the output.

188 TYPOLOGY OF AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS

Typology of agricultural holding

The typology means a uniform classification of agricultural holdings by the economic size of the holding and by type of agricultural production. The economic size classes and type of production are based on Eurostat methodology. In our case no threshold was used.

The criteria used to establish the economic size of the holdings is the so called Standard Gross Margins (SGM). The SGM of a crop or livestock item is defined as the value of output from one hectare or from one animal less the cost of variable inputs to produce that output.

The economic size of the agricultural holding can be assessed by summing up all the output multiplied by the SGM values. This is derived from the declarations made by the farmers during the Census of Agriculture.

The economic size is expressed in ESU (European Size Unit). One ESU is equivalent to 1200 Euros Lm 486 (2001 average).

Size Classes Categories

I less than 2 ESU II from 2 to less than 4 ESU III from 4 to less than 6 ESU IV from 6 to less than 8 ESU V from 8 to less than 12 ESU VI from 12 to less than 16 ESU VII from 16 to less than 40 ESU VIII from 40 to less than 100 ESU IX from 100 to less than 250 ESU X from 250 ESU or more

The compilation of SGM does not take into account, labour costs, fuel and lubricants, maintenance and depreciation costs, contract work and rents.
