The first agricultural micro-census will be held throughout the Russian Federation from August 1 to August 30, 2021
One of the main goals of micro-census is the formation of official statistical information about the structural changes that have occurred in agriculture. It is extremely important to participate in it in 2021 for each category of agricultural producers in order to obtain reliable and objective information about the state of affairs in agriculture in our country.
At the moment, 41 district commissions have been created to conduct accounting. In total, the census will cover more than 594 agricultural organizations, 2530 peasant farms and individual entrepreneurs, 1383 horticultural and other non-profit partnerships of citizens, as well as 420.9 thousand farms – personal, subsidiary and other individual farms.
It is easy to recognize the scribe: he is dressed in special equipment (cape and cap) of green color with special reflective stripes and with the logo "agricultural micro-census". The copyist must have a certificate with him.
The census form for the owners of personal subsidiary and other individual farms of citizens contains questions about the number of persons living in the household, the characteristics and structure of the use of land plots, and the number of farm animals. At the same time, there is no need to show any documents to the census taker.
The peculiarity of agricultural micro-census in 2021 is the use of modern technologies. Tablet computers will be used for the survey. This will significantly improve the quality of information and speed up the process of data collection and processing.
Preliminary results will be announced in the fourth quarter of 2021, and the final results will be announced in the fourth quarter of 2022. The results of the 2021 will allow us to learn about the structural changes that have occurred in agriculture, which will allow us to develop a forecast of its development, economic support measures and increase the efficiency of agricultural production.
