Survey of private farms to be launched

It is worth to fill in the questionnaire on-line and alone

The Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO) makes a survey of over 16 thousand non-key and some 5 thousand key private farms nationwide in 340 settlements between 15 May and 15 June 2025. Non-key private farms can answer the questions on-line until 25 May and at the aid of enumerators following that. Among those filling in the questionnaire on-line, the Office will draw a gift voucher worth 100 thousand forints. Key private farms, performing substantial agricultural activity, can only answer on-line until 15 June. The data supply is compulsory for the designated farms.

The Hungarian Central Statistical Office carries out its current agricultural survey between 15 May and 15 June this year, which covers over 16 thousand non-key and some 5 thousand key private farms in Hungary. The aim of the data collection on land use and livestock is to provide up-to-date and accurate information to decision-makers in Hungary and in the EU as well as to farmers. The data supply is required by a government decree, and response is compulsory. Before the survey period, HCSO forwarded all those involved the information needed to fill in the questionnaire and the admission code via e-mail or by post.

Non-key private farms can meet their obligation to supply data in two ways. They can fill in the questionnaire on their own on-line, at the maja.ksh.hu page between 15 and 25 May. They can give the answers in person or via telephone at the aid of enumerators following that, between 26 May and 15 June. The non-key private farms that fill in the questionnaire on-line by 25 May, can take part in a draw, in which they can win a gift voucher worth 100,000 forints. Enumerators, having an identity card with a photo, will only visit the farmers that did not take advantage of internet answering. It is important that the survey is conducted in the frame of on-line answering for all key private farms.

The results of the survey help policy decision-making, in the interests of farmers, and the elaboration of support schemes, in this way, response is of public interest. HCSO will use the information obtained in the survey solely for statistical purposes, will not issue them to other organs or persons and, pursuant to the provisions of law, will guarantee the security of data management.

Further information on the details of the survey of private farms is available at the www.ksh.hu/aktualis_osszeiras page.
