Results by country are aimed at disseminating main National Agricultural Census Results referring to the 1980, 1990 and 2000 rounds. Relevant information about Number, Size and Fragmentation of Holding, Legal Status of Holders, Land Tenure, Farm Population, Employment, Land Use, main Crops and main Livestock species is reported.

The purpose of issuing the census results is to make the census data contained in national census reports of diverse forms and languages more accessible in a comparable form, as soon as they become available. Generally the terminology used is that of the Programme for the WCA, unless it was found necessary to use the one adopted by the country.

The country data, as presented here, are the principal findings of the census; more detailed information could be found in the national census reports; specific questions can be addressed to the National Statistical Offices responsible for census taking and data publication whose addresses and web-site pages are reported (these links are provided for users convenience; FAO is not responsible for the information found through them).

Due to the specific statistical methodologies applied, users may find some differences between the figures here reported and related data from other time series databases. In addition to the data, explanatory notes about the census methodology of each country is provided, which may be useful for understanding and interpreting the results.
