This document is part of the FAO Statistics Working Paper Series and part of the methodological works of the Survey Team of the FAO Statistics Division to provide operational guidance on selected areas of agricultural survey methodology with an overall objective to promote cost effective practices in agricultural surveys implementation. The main objective of this note is to present how to perform sample selection with partial rotation over the survey cycle. A number of methods recommended in the literature are proposed here considering their suitability, cost effectiveness and ease of implementation in the context of agricultural surveys in developing countries.
