Usually the whole country is covered, however, under certain circumstances only a significant part of it may be covered. The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations recommends that every country should conduct Agricultural Censuses every 10 years. In this context, the present Agricultural Census was carried out in Mauritius in 2014 by Statistics Mauritius with the collaboration of FAO and the Ministry of Agro Industry and Food Security. The World Programme for the Census of Agriculture 2010 guidelines published by the FAO was followed. Several important aspects related to agriculture were covered including number of farmers, characteristics of households, farm activities, land use, land tenure, type of crops grown, livestock reared and marketing aspects. The purpose of this report is to present the results and analysis of data collected in relation to the land use section of the Census.
