Hello Mr. Amin

I thnk you must get information (interview) to the farmers about the several agriculural problems and their expectation in agricultural sector. Farmers are fundamental power in agricultural sector. Thanks.

Thanks Widya,

Actually agriculture is not my subject. I am statistician. Do you have such type of questionnaire that you can share with me. Thanks in advance

Dear Dr. Amin

What is the theme of questionnaire about ?

Dear Muhammed Amin,

Firstly, you should clarify the objective of your questionnaire. What is the main information and hypothesis that the outputs of the questionnaire could lead?

After a previous literature review on the subject of your research (secondary information), you should make some focus groups with policy makers to discuss the items of the questionnaire with him according of the literature review and the objective of the study.

Than you will be able to get a first version of the questionnaire (primary information). You should try to minimize the open questions.

That a pilot survey to see if the target population (policy makers in your case) can understand the question, can answer, want answer, etc. (at least 10% of the surveyed sample).

After that you can write the final structured questionnaire to be performed to a representative sample of policy makers to get a reliable information.

I hope that I satisfied you requirements.

Regards

Samir

Part of the questionnaire can be designed in a way that enables using the analytic hierarchy methodology. See our articles (where the position of policy makers to criteria of agro-industrial projects is studied):

I agree with Samir Sayadi that clearly defining the objectives and outcomes of your research is what shapes the questionnaire.  I think you need some kind of structure or classification of policies for your questionnaire to make sense and be useful.   I am sorry that the following publication is only available in Spanish, but it might give you an idea of the types of policies and information you need to understand agricultural policies: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/293487311_INVENTARIO_DE_POLITICAS_PARA_LA_AGRICULTURA_EN_LA_REGION_ANDINA.

If it is of any value to you, I just recently finished a paper on agricultural policy trends that might give you an idea of themes and topics of interest to policy makers.  The main structure is: 1. market oriented policies 2. policies for Integrated risk management 3. Sustainable use of natural resources and 4. Efficient use of input and factors of production in agriculture. 

In terms of policy classifications, you might also like to check the series of publications by the OECD on Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation and the series of country policy examinations performed the World Trade Organization. 

This examples should illustrate how important is to  define the level of detail and depth of your analysis. 

Kind regards,
