Resumen
Descripción
Output from the non-formal, traditional or semi-subsistence sector is usually estimated on
the basis-marketed production only. It is therefore often underestimated in national statistics
and information on the relative importance of different sources of farm-household production
is either not attempted or is unreliable. This paper provides an estimation of the magnitude
and relative contribution of different production and consumption components for different
farm-household types in Kavango. Some of the practical and conceptual issues involved are
discussed, as well as the implications of the results obtained for development planning.
