    National agricultural census operations and COVID-19 2020
    Also available in:
    The COVID-19 pandemic is also affecting agricultural census activities. Currently, 62 countries are preparing (45 countries) or have conducted (17 countries) censuses of agriculture in the WCA 2020 round. A rapid appraisal and informal consultations with national agricultural census authorities reveal that some 34 countries reported delays or suspension of several census activities. Countries that have started or were about to start fieldwork and census enumeration have put these activities on hold until the crisis is over. Most countries agreed that the full impact on the preparation and implementation of national censuses will depend on the evolution of the crisis.

Nevertheless, as the situation continues to deteriorate in low-income countries there is a risk that it could lead to a partial or total blackout of national statistical systems, leaving countries and their international communities blind for data needed for policy-making and the monitoring of national and international development agendas.
