The main objective of the Census is to provide accurate, comprehensive and internationally comparable data on number of family agricultural holdings, area of total land used for agriculture, livestock by type and categories, agro-technical measures, agricultural machinery, etc.

The statistical unit was the agricultural holding, defined as a single unit, both technically and economically, which has a single management and which undertakes agricultural activities and meets certain minimum thresholds of activity which are similar to the EU and Council Regulation (EC) No. 1166/2008. Two types of holdings were distinguished in the AC 2010: (i) family agricultural holdings (holdings in the household sector); and (ii) business entities (holdings in the non-household sector).

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
1. Frame
The census frame was established based on a listing operation and using the available information from 2003 Census of Population, Dwellings, and Households. The listing operation helped to enumerate all households, and screen the agricultural production households that met the criteria applicable to holdings. The AC 2010 was conducted using complete enumeration of the target population.

Data Processing
Data Editing
a. DATA PROCESSING AND ARCHIVING
For data entry, MONSTAT prepared an application called ENTRY. During data entry, statisticians controlled the accuracy of the entire process from the questionnaire on the application. Data entry took one month and a half. After entering, the material was controlled. To control the data in MONSTAT, an application called CONTROL was elaborated; this detected logical and arithmetical errors at questionnaire level. For the updating process, MONSTAT elaborated an application called CORRECTION. The application enabled viewing the errors in the questionnaire, as well as the type of error in the survey. The correction of the material was performed by MONSTAT employees. The complete software was done in the IT department of the MONSTAT. The application was made in Visual Basic 6.0 and the database was SQL Server 2000.
b. CENSUS DATA QUALITY
A PES was conducted immediately after the end of the AC enumeration, from 25 June to 5 July 2010. The PES was an effort to assess data quality and was carried out in EAs and municipalities selected at random. The PEC took place using special questionnaires, with a limited number of variables.'
