It will explore the entire range of agricultural enterprises , farms and family farms . The Census will be calculated for agricultural machinery, equipment and supplies, refined acreage of crops, livestock and pets, etc. In June this year a test census is planned in Guba.
By law, the Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years. Previous census and inventory of agriculture was held in 2005. In normal mode, the statistics cover, for example, 10 % of the acreage.
The share of agriculture in GDP in Azerbaijan is 5.3 % (11 months in 2013 ). The country has maintained annual planting of crops on 1.3 million hectares. - 08B-
