Abstract
The Agricultural Census 2000 is the fifth conducted in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Labour (MAL) created an Agriculture Census Unit (ACU) to be responsible for the overall management and coordination of the Agricultural Census 2000. The Agriculture Census Coordinator and two Assistants to the Coordinator were recruited. Additional staff included the Data Processing Supervisor (from the Data Processing Department of the Ministry of Finance), and a Statistician from the Agriculture Planning Unit (APU). MAL staff served as supervisors, enumerators, coders and data entry personnel. As part of the FAO technical assistance, the FAO Regional Statistician, a National Statistician and an International Statistician, consultant in Data Processing, advised the ACU on technical and procedural issues. An Agricultural Census 2000 Steering Committee (ACSC) was formed, to act as a national governing unit that would advise the MAL and approve methodologies and procedures. The reference year for the census is the agricultural year from 1 January 1999 to 31 December 1999.
