Title Developing a National Agriculture Census in the Federated States of Micronesia
Abstract A national census of agriculture had not been carried out in the Federated States of Micronesia since 1969, and very limited accurate and consistent agricultural data was available. As a result of this, the Government had great difficulty in designing appropriate policies and making meaningful plans for the sector. The Federated States of Micronesia Agriculture Policy (2012-2016) provided an overarching policy framework for the sector, which included a clear commitment to an agriculture census.
