### Title: Household-level agricultural inputs-outputs, off-farm income, and wild harvested products survey in eastern Madagascar (part of p4ges project) (NE/K010220/1) This archive consists of (a) primary dataset and (b) accompanying documents for 'Agricultural inputs-outputs and off-farm income' and 'Wild-harvested products' segments of the data for work packages 6 and 3 (WP6 and WP3) of the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA)-funded [P4ges project](http://p4ges.org). These parts of the work packages are concerned with the socio-economic aspects of the research undertaken within P4ges project. The survey was conducted with a sub-sample of the households selected after the first round of the surveys, documented in detail [here](http://doi.org/10.5255/UKDA-SN-852435). This phase of the surveys were designed to look more in-depth at the agricultural practices, plot-level productivity, off-farm income, and collection and use of wild harvested products. The data was collected between August 2014 and November 2015 and comprises of 171 households (169 for wild-harvested products survey).
