According to the Central Statistical Office, those concerned received the information and access code required for completing the survey by e-mail or post before the survey.

The census contains questions on crop production, animal husbandry, agricultural labor, as well as services, investments and expenditures. The aim of the data collection is to provide up-to-date information to domestic and EU decision-makers and farmers, and also serves to fulfill Hungary’s EU data provision obligation – the statistical office explained. The Central Statistical Office uses the data exclusively for statistical purposes, does not pass it on to other bodies, and guarantees data security in accordance with the law. The office will send the aggregated results of the census by e-mail to those who requested it during the survey – the announcement reads.
