Collect information with a more complete coverage, including information on all crops and livestock of the household instead of only collecting information on some crops and livestock, mainly because the electronic survey form has been applied, making it easier to design the form and collect information. Supplement information to evaluate the efficiency of farm production activities.
Add a questionnaire to collect information from enterprises, cooperatives, and cooperative unions in the 2025 agricultural census plan to ensure the full scope of the census. In the previous phase, the design of this questionnaire was carried out within the framework of the annual enterprise sample survey.
Speaking at the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh emphasized that the results of the census will be the basis for assessing the current situation as well as the results of implementing national target programs on industrialization, modernization of agriculture, rural areas and new rural construction.
At the same time, it is the basis for building plans and strategies for rural and agricultural development and improving the living standards of rural residents nationwide as well as in each locality.
The Deputy Prime Minister requested the Central Steering Committee and local Steering Committees at all levels to report on the preparation and readiness for the census.
