OC-14: Change in net income due to adoption of the improved technologies

Definition: Net income refers to the difference between total revenue from the sale of the agricultural commodities (crops or livestocks), their share of the total cost of production, processing costs (if any) and transport costs.

Unit of Measure: United states dollars

Disaggregated by: Crop/livestock, geographic location (national, sub-national), gender of the household head of farm/plot/livestock owner (male, female)
Main crop: Chickpea, lentil, faba beans, grass pea, spring barley, winter barley, durum wheat, spring bread wheat
Main livestock: Goats, sheep, cattle

Method of Calculation:
Net_income=total sales revenue-Qs*total production costs-(transport costs-processing costs)
Where Qs share of crop produce or animal products sold in total crop produce or total crop production respectively.

Data sources: Farm households

Data collection method: Farm household surveys

Data collection and reporting responsibility: Program leader, project leader, project M&E focal point person

Data Collection and Reporting Frequency: Annual, bi-annual, baseline, mid-term, end-term.

Evidence required:
For internal evaluation or research studies: Study protocol, data collection tools, dataset, report;
For external evaluation or research studies: Request for proposals (RFP) document, inception report, final report, dataset

Rationale: ICARDA provides leadership in strategic research to develop integrated dry areas farming systems, using the diversity of crops and livestock to build profitable and sustainable farming enterprises. Knowledge generated through this indicator will thus shed light in this respect.
