Hereafter, attention is given to the available capital
resources (fixed assets, value of cattle, household durables,
savings) and possibilities for borrowing (credit access) that
provide an indication of relative household wealth. Current and past investments for house upgrading or land improvements are specifically registered to account for changes in
the wealth status. Finally, farmers are asked to indicate their
subjective appreciation of past and expected future welfare
perceptions, for example, whether they consider that their
position improved, remained the same or has deteriorated.
