Bolivia launches first agricultural census in 13 years to update production data

Bolivia has initiated its 2026 agricultural census, the first since 2013, deploying over 7,000 enumerators to collect data on agricultural, livestock, forestry, and fisheries production. The census aims to update outdated statistics that have hindered policy planning and investment decisions. The accuracy and completeness of the data remain to be seen, but the move signals a government effort to modernize its agricultural information base.
