[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, plans to conduct the 2020 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Census targeting all 8,500 agricultural, forestry, and fishery households in the area from the 23rd to December 18th.

This census, conducted every five years, comprehensively identifies the scale, structure, distribution, and characteristics of households and household members engaged in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries in South Korea, and will be used for future agricultural policy and rural development planning.

In particular, the survey items on the basic status of rural areas, such as social, cultural, welfare, and convenience facilities at the administrative village (maeul) level, have been improved to collect more life-oriented data, which will serve as a foundation for developing better rural living environments.

The county planning and audit officer stated, “This census is crucial for accurately understanding relevant information to establish policies that can respond quickly and actively to the rapidly changing rural environment,” adding, “For our county, where 35% of households are farming households and agriculture is actively promoted, this census holds great significance.”

He continued, “We ask for the active participation of local farming households not only in the non-face-to-face survey via the internet but also during the on-site visits.”

The county plans to conduct the non-face-to-face internet survey until December 11th, and the on-site survey by investigators from December 1st to 18th. A total of 92 investigators will be deployed, using tablets (or paper surveys) to carry out the investigation.
