The agricultural production surveys include all units identified on Statistics NZ's Business Register as having agricultural activity.
The survey population for the agricultural production surveys is all businesses engaged in 'agricultural production activity' (including livestock, cropping, horticulture, and forestry), or which own land intended for agricultural activity. The survey population includes businesses engaged in agriculture or forestry production as a secondary activity.
The final overall response rate for the Agriculture Production Survey 2024 was 72.9 percent. This was a lower response rate compared with the target response rate of 84 percent. This has resulted in some higher sample errors and imputation levels than previous surveys.
