Questions and instructions

Literal question

How much would you normally have to spend in total to buy this quantity? (in Rupees)

Interviewer instructions

Record the usual amount of money the respondent would have to spend, not the amount that would have to be spent in unusual circumstances such as a drought or surplus year. Be sure to record the amount paid for the total quantity consumed, NOT the price per unit. In estimating this amount, use the price normally paid by the household. If the food was purchased on barter, report the value of goods exchanged to acquire it.

For example, suppose that a household reports that it purchases wheat (code 02) during three months of the year. Record “3” months in question 2. Now ask the respondent how much the household consumes during each of these three months, as well as the amount it would have to spend to purchase this amount. If the respondent says that the household consumes 20 kilos in each of these months, and that it costs Rs. 100 (i.e. Rs. 5 per kilo), write ‘20’ in Q. 3’ and ‘100’ in Q.4.
