Spanish term or phrase: presión muestral
Así la mediana del tamaño del predio (esto es el número de animales en cada predio) para Isabela se encuentra en 21 bovinos, para San Cristóbal en 19 y para Santa Cruz en 43.
De esta amera se busca, como se hizo en el muestreo de Ecuador continental, que la distribución de la presión muestral se haga de manera estructurada en función de la distribución de los bovinos por tamaño del predio; así la repartición de la muestra sigue la misma estructura que la población.

sample quota
Explanation:
It's a strange term and normally I'd have said a scanning error for precisión, but that doesn't fit your context. It's talking about quota sampling and first the stratification has to be chosen and then a quota has to be calculated for each stratum. It seems to be referring to the latter step.

sample incidence census


Explanation:
Hence, the average farm size ( i.e, the number of animals in each farm ) is 21 cattle, 19 for San Cristobál, and 43 for Santa Cruz.
In this way it seeks to show the breakdown of sample incidence statistics in structured format, like in the Continental Ecuador (?) sample, by way of a cattle numbers breakdown per size of farm; in that way, the cattle sample follows the same structure as the human census.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. Reading through the rest of the document I think that quota is probably the best choice here.

neutral  Andrew Bramhall: "quota" isn't the "mot juste" here; it could lead to confusion, I fear, in this context.

  -> The term presión muestral doesn't exist. This is my best guess.

agree  Marina Ilari: From the context I think this is the best guess.
