The provision of census-based farming data is conducted every ten years, whereas agriculture change is very fast in keeping with technological developments, seasonal changes, and prices. The last agricultural census was carried out in 2013 (ST2013), therefore it is deemed necessary to conduct an agricultural survey between two censuses, hereinafter referred to as the Inter-Census Agricultural Survey (SUTAS).
SUTAS is done in the middle of the ST2013 period and the Agricultural Census of 2023 (ST2023), precisely in 2018, hereinafter referred to as SUTAS2018. SUTAS2018 is the Intercensal Agricultural Survey first conducted by BPS. The results of SUTAS2018 are useful to obtain the phenomenon of agricultural enterprise changes in 2013 and 2018, projection of livestock population, and other agricultural survey planning prior to the implementation of ST2023.
