World Programme for the Census of Agriculture

WCA Round 1990

World Programme for the Census of Agriculture (WCA) 1990 (1986–1995)

The World Programme for the Census of Agriculture (WCA) 1990 assisted countries by providing definitions, concepts, standards and guidelines for censuses in the decade 1986–1995. This data was used to generate a database of internationally comparable figures, such as number of farms by size, number of livestock by type and age/sex classification and land use by crops and agricultural inputs. 

Country census documentation

FAO periodically disseminates country census documents and their associated methodological reviews through its official website. This section provides access to census reports, questionnaires, instruction manuals, and other related census materials submitted by member countries.
