Agricultural Census [ag/census]
In accordance with Law No. 13248 "Census Law", the First National Census of Agriculture (I CENAGRO) was conducted in 1961. I CENAGRO was conducted jointly with the Sixth Population Census and the First Housing Census. Eleven years later in 1972, the Second National Census of Agriculture (II CENAGRO) was conducted independently of the National Censuses over a period of twenty days.
On December 15, 1993, through Supreme Decree No. 098-93-PCM del, the government declared the Third National Census of Agriculture (III CENAGRO) to be of national interest and a priority. Beginning in 1994, the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) was commissioned with the direction, planning, and execution of the census.
The National Census of Agriculture constitutes the most important source of statistical information that provides up to date information of the agricultural reality of the country. The purpose of the data is to provide up to date information on the agricultural structure, that is, of the productive capacity with the aim of facilitating a greater understanding of the agricultural reality of the country. It allows for the formulation of development plans and adoption of policies that help improve the living standards of the living of the agricultural population.
More specifically, the objectives of III CENAGRO include:
-
Gaining a better understanding of Agricultural holdings according to type, size, tenure, land use, etc.
-
Obtaining information on areas with homogenous agro-ecological, economic, and social characteristics
-
Establishing easily identifiable areas that allow for the immediate production of livestock statistics
-
Improving the production of continuous agricultural statistics and contribute to the development of an integrated agricultural statistical system
-
Obtaining basic information for the formulation and evaluation of development plans for the Agricultural Sector
