The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census is a nationwide basic statistical survey conducted every five years. It identifies the scale, distribution, structure, and management types of agricultural, forestry, and fishery households in Korea. The results are widely used for policy-making by central government agencies such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, and the Korea Forest Service, as well as for the development plans of rural areas by local governments.

The results of this survey serve as the foundation for key administrative data, including the formulation of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries policies, regional development plans, and the calculation of local allocation tax. They are also used for statistics submitted to international organizations (such as the FAO) and for constructing populations in various sample surveys.

The Hanam City survey targets all agricultural, forestry, and fishery households within the city, specifically the approximately 5,100 households that received a notification from the National Data Office in mid-November.

Households can participate in the online survey through the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census website until December 10. For those who do not participate online within this period, surveyors will visit in person from December 1 to conduct interviews using tablet PCs.

The information collected will be strictly protected in accordance with Articles 33 and 34 of the Statistics Act, and any data gathered during the survey process will not be used for any purpose other than statistical analysis.

Mayor Lee Hyunjae of Hanam City stated, "The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census is essential for objectively understanding the current state of rural areas and for setting the direction of future policies. I ask for the active participation of all citizens when surveyors visit."
