Geostat conducted Census of Agriculture 2014 in accordance with the World Programme of Agricultural Censuses 2006-2015 recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The census was based on the FAO methodology. Statistics experts of FAO and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) were actively engaged at every stage of the census process. At the first stage, in November 2014, together with Population Census there was conducted Census of Agriculture for households. In addition to this, in spring 2015 there was conducted Census of Agriculture for legal entities. As a result, the census covered all agricultural holdings in the country (on the territory controlled by the Government of Georgia) – all households and legal entities, who, as of October 1, 2014, were owning or temporarily operating agricultural land, livestock, poultry, beehive or permanent crop (agricultural), regardless the fact whether there was produced any kind of agricultural product or not during the reference year. The census provided diverse information about agriculture of Georgia such is structure and use of land operated by holdings, livestock, poultry and beehive numbers.

National coverage
Households
The main statistical unit was the agricultural holding, defined as an economic unit engaged in agricultural production under single management without regard to size and legal status. An economic unit that operates agricultural land or permanent crop trees, but that during the reference year has no agricultural production, is also considered an agricultural holding. As the AC 2014 data collection for the agricultural holdings in the household sector was carried out jointly with the GPC, the common statistical unit was the agricultural production household. Two types of agricultural holdings were distinguished: family holdings and agricultural enterprises.
