PSA noted that the nationwide census is conducted every ten years to establish the structural characteristics of the country's agriculture and fishery industries and to provide basic data on agriculture, aquaculture, and fishing characteristics for use in national and local development planning by the government.
This is also instrumental to gather data on facilities and services available in the barangay.
Respondents include all households with agricultural, aquaculture, and fishing operators such as those engaged in crop production, livestock, poultry, insects/worm culturing, aquaculture, and/or fishing activity between January 1 to December 31, 2022.
Tacogdoy said that over the years, this census has been a source of comprehensive statistics on agriculture and fisheries for the use of the general public, government, business industries, and research.
