- In 2026, an agricultural census will take place, during which detailed questionnaires are planned to be used to collect information about the state of agriculture, as well as the availability of infrastructure and environmental protection facilities in various regions of the country. This was reported on the radio by Baktybek Orozbaev, the chief specialist of the department of statistical censuses and geoinformation systems of the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Form No. 1, designed for rural districts, includes general data about populated areas. This form specifies the name and location of the rural district, the OKPO code, the composition of populated areas, and their codes according to the SOOT system.

“This form will also include the areas of agricultural land, redistribution funds, and land used for agricultural activities in rural districts. Additionally, data on infrastructure will be included, such as the presence of paved roads, credit institutions, agricultural product markets, maintenance services, as well as clinics, hospitals, and FAPs,” Orozbaev noted.

Furthermore, the questionnaires will contain questions regarding ecology and infrastructure: the presence of landfills, storage locations for chemicals, tailings storage facilities, and environmental protection measures. The presence of municipal enterprises, agricultural machinery, and transport providing services to the population will also be taken into account.

The second form is intended for legal entities engaged in agricultural activities, including state and collective farms, as well as subsidiary farms of enterprises, educational institutions, and logistics centers. It will contain information about land and labor resources, farm infrastructure, as well as the availability of water supply, electricity supply, and autonomous energy sources such as solar panels and generators.

The census will also collect information about sown areas, orchards, berry fields, and greenhouses, as well as the use of fertilizers and the livestock and poultry population.

“Special visual materials on animal breeds have been prepared for the census takers. Images of horse, sheep, goat, and pig breeds will be available in electronic format, allowing the census taker to determine the breed of the animals together with the owner. If it is not possible to determine the breed, it will be noted that the animal is of mixed breed,” the specialist added.
