We're thrilled to announce the release of the preliminary findings from the Vanuatu National Agriculture Census (VNAC) 2022 by the Vanuatu Bureau of Statistics. This monumental effort has culminated in a wealth of valuable insights into the agricultural landscape of Vanuatu, offering a comprehensive overview of the nation's socio-economic fabric. At the heart of the VNAC's objectives lies a profound goal: to gather a holistic spectrum of socio-economic data encompassing Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Forestry. This meticulously collected data serves as a cornerstone for governmental planning, monitoring, and evaluation. It establishes baseline data for the primary sector's structure, bolsters national development agendas, and charts progress towards pivotal national and global targets, including the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The VNAC is dedicated to enhancing the technical prowess of the National Statistics Office through staff training, facilitating result dissemination, leveraging sampling frameworks from the 2020 National Population and Housing Census (NPHC), and fostering a sustainable food and agricultural statistical system. With a focus on comprehensive information, primary sector insights, and technical capabilities, the VNAC is a beacon of progress, aiming to empower policymakers and establish a sustainable agricultural statistical system.
