Agriculture census to be postponed to a later date

The Central Statistics Office has decided to defer the collection of the Census of Agriculture, which was due to take place on 1 June 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, key tasks scheduled between now and June cannot be completed, the CSO has said. Alternative dates and options for the collection of the Census of Agriculture are currently being assessed.

Statistics

The CSO has been in contact with Eurostat and key users of agricultural statistics about the best way forward, in order to compile the in-depth data on Irish agriculture, which this ten-yearly census provides.

The CSO will notify data users and the farming community as soon as a new date for collection of the Census of Agriculture has been agreed.
