Synopsis (short abstract) The 1970 World Census of Agriculture was the third decennial census of agri­culture promoted by FAO. The numerical results of this Census, made available to FAQ generally through national census publications in diverse forms and in many different languages, are processed in a comparable form and published in a series of issues of the Census Bulletin already distributed to Member Governments. The present publication deals with the concepts, definitions and methodology of census taking as applied by countries participating in the 1970 World Census of Agriculture. The information presented is drawn from the available national census reports, documents of various FAQ meetings and sessions, and from the FAO experts who were actually involved in the planning and implementation of the census of agriculture taken around 1970 in the developing countries. While every effort was made to pool together all possible sources of information, it is by no means claimed to be exhaustive. Most of the census reports available from the countries were lacking in adequate information on the planning and methodological procedures. On a number of items the information presented in some of the national reports was too scanty for a comparative analysis to be included in the present volume. Naturally these limitations reflect correspondingly on the contents of this publication.

    Also available in:

    This statistics working paper presents an estimation methodology for decomposing food expenditure across the industries and the primary factors of the food value chain (FVC). The approach outlined is based on the Global Food Dollar methodology developed by the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ERS) and Cornell University. FAO has enriched the analytical scope of the methodology by adding the industry and primary factors decomposition. Country coverage has also been increased by adapting the methodology to different data types and sources.
