She emphasized that this event is organized once every ten years and has a national scale. It is important to note that a similar census has not been conducted in the last 22 years.
The purpose of the census is to collect relevant information on the following areas:
- the number and structure of agricultural enterprises and farms of all forms of ownership;
- the diversity and volumes of agricultural production;
- the availability of land, labor, and material resources;
- the livestock and poultry population;
- the specifics of managing farms and the level of mechanization.
“This data will provide a complete picture of the development of agriculture in the country. Objective information is necessary for shaping agricultural policy and planning investments in the sector. This year, we are completely moving away from the use of paper carriers and transitioning to an electronic format. Information will be sent to the protected central server of the National Statistical Committee, which will ensure confidentiality and prompt data processing,” added Elmira Alymkulova.
She also noted that 6,791 temporary employees will be involved in conducting the census, including enumerators, registrars, instructors, controllers, and coordinators. All of them will receive a salary set by the government.
