OBJECTIVES THE CENSUS OF COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE
The general objective of the 2017 Census of Commercial Agriculture is to collect basic quantitative information on South Africa’s commercial agriculture that is essential for planning, policy formulation, food security, etc. To generate information on the size, structure & nature of commercial agriculture at industry and municipal level To provide data to use as benchmarks for and reconciliation
statistics To improve frames (lists
conducting commercial agriculture sample surveys
