• those units registered for GST (and filing a non-zero GST return) that have indicated involvement in agricultural activity;

• those businesses with more than $200,000 (approx U$S 163,000) of GST sales or purchases, or that are an employer, whose main activity is not agriculture but have indicated some secondary agricultural activity."Lifestylers" engaged in agricultural activity which could not be identified on the Business Frame or had been shown not to be engaged in agriculture with commercial intent were not included in the survey population.

The agricultural production surveys include all units identified on Statistics New Zealand's Business Frame as having agricultural activity. The Business Frame is a list of businesses in New Zealand, based on their
registration for goods and services tax (GST) with Inland Revenue.

b. Methodology
Complete enumeration of agricultural businesses registered for goods and services tax (GST) with Inland Revenue. The estimated proportion of eligible businesses that responded to the 2012 Agricultural Production Census was 84%. These businesses represent 86% of the total estimated value of agricultural operations. The information was collected by regular mail.]]>
