Abstract

In support of the strategic plans and programmes of the Seychelles on agriculture, the government decided to conduct the Agriculture Census in August 2011. The objectives of the Census are to:
a) provide benchmark or basic data on the structure of agricultural holdings and their main characteristics at the micro-level;
b) use this information to develop a regular system of agricultural statistics;
c) build up some important village level statistics;
d) establish a technical and organizational foundation on which to build up a comprehensive and integrated system of food and agricultural statistics; and
e) provide a frame from which samples can be drawn to study certain aspects of agricultural activities in greater depth.

Based on information from the Population & Housing Census, lists were compiled of all households growing crops mainly for sale. This list was supplemented with a list of large enterprises and other non-household farms from the Seychelles Agricultural Agency (SAA). Together, these made up the most important producers and all such farming units were included in the Census using the census questionnaire.

In total, 24,770 households were enumerated with 8,662 classified as farming and 15,748 non-farming households (360 non-response).
