Content The purpose of this section is to collect information the non-farming activities run by members of the household. By this we mean businesses that are owned by the members of the household. We are interested in obtaining detailed information on each of the businesses.

Definition A BUSINESS may be some kind of trade (in food, clothes or various articles) or a professional activity (like a doctor or traditional healer, for example), or a duka/shop, a carpenter or cabinet maker's shop, etc.

INPUTS are used to make or produce a final product. Labor is a key input in almost any business. Other inputs can include materials and equipment. For example, a carpenter's inputs include lumber and nails. Not all businesses use inputs other than labor, however. For example, a duka owner purchases items from producers and sells them to customers.

An INVENTORY of products or goods not yet sold would include all final products of the business that are on hand but have not been sold. For example, the following items are inventory in these businesses:

Business Inventory

Carpenter Unsold, finished furniture

(chairs, beds, tables)

Duka All of the products on the

shelves that have not been

sold.

Unused raw materials are not included in the inventory of final products and goods in these questions. For example, the unused lumber of the carpenter and any unfinished furniture are not in an inventory.
