2015 Agriculture and Forestry Census

The Agriculture and Forestry Census (under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Key Statistics) aims to clarify the current situation and trends of agriculture and forestry in Japan, and to prepare basic and comprehensive statistical data necessary for promoting agriculture and forestry administration. The survey was started in 1950 as the World Agricultural Census in 1950, and has been implemented every 10 years since 1960, including the Forestry Census. Also, in the middle year, Japan's own agricultural census was implemented.
From 2005, the Agricultural Census and the Forestry Census will be integrated and carried out every five years. This survey is the 14th survey for agriculture and the 8th survey for forestry.
