AgraCEASC

Agra CEAS offers an individual tailored approach to each and every client, and therefore we do not have standard methodologies that we use. However, generally our methodologies include a combination of some of the following:

	collection of information by interviews and extensive qualitative surveys from key participants in a sector (e.g., consumers, retailers, wholesalers, importers, trade associations, government officials);
	desk research and analysis of statistics;
	collection and examination of data at both macro and micro levels;
	econometric modelling of impact of policies (e.g., national and EU level agricultural policies such as the in-feed growth promoters research for DG Agriculture, and the construction of our own econometric model for the EU arable sector (Common Agricultural Policy Analysis – CAPA);
	use of farmer surveys to collect both qualitative opinions/views and quantitative data. All manners of survey undertaken including personal, telephone and postal interviews;
	use of case studies;
	use of logical framework approach for project implementation and evaluation.
