Changes to data collection/processing

For the 2002 Agricultural Production Census, Statistics NZ sourced the population from the Business Business Register and the Inland Revenue Client Register. These sources were checked against industry lists and AgriBase to ensure all large units were included in the population. After the 2002 Census, Statistics NZ used the Business Register for the census and survey populations. Over the years, Statistics NZ have changed the core information we gather in agricultural production collections. Since 2002, these collections have gathered information on livestock and arable farming, horticulture, and forestry with the following exception: In 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2016 the surveys collected information on livestock and arable farming, and forestry (with no horticulture production information).
