Description

On 29 July 1968, Afghanistan launched a national agricultural census to gather data on farmland, livestock, and crop production. The survey sought to support long-term agricultural planning and investment. Enumerators traveled to remote areas to collect information directly from farmers. Results from the census helped policymakers better understand regional differences in productivity. The project strengthened the country’s ability to plan future agricultural reforms.
