There is a census of farms (fields, vegetable gardens, greenhouses and animals). Why did many people refuse to let the scribes into their homes?
In August this year, a microcensus of agriculture takes place. Rosstat will collect data on all agricultural organizations and farms. The census will also affect private property. But only in the countryside. Census takers will not go to summer residents (they will limit themselves to information from the chairmen of SNT). Enumerators will not go to the owners of private farms in urban areas and in hard-to-reach places.
Usually, such a census is carried out every ten years. The last time it was held in 2016. This time it was decided to hold it earlier because of the changes in the field of agriculture. The costs of this event are considerable - more than 4 billion rubles.
Over the past 20 years, the total area of land plots that citizens use for their needs has increased by almost a third: from 6.2 million hectares to 8 million. A source: https://rosstat.gov.ru/agro2021
Those. a large number of citizens have acquired land, and the state wants to know how it is used. Rosstat has such a job - to collect data and statistics for the country. Agricultural data is only a small part of this information. Data analysis predicts changes in each industry.
I heard that not everyone lets scribes into their homes. Many have a negative reaction to this. And the thoughts are: they will rewrite and impose taxes. And those micro-farmers who work without any registration of their activity will even more not let the census takers, fearing disclosure of the existence of their economy and probable income.
Part of the population has long been at least skeptical about such events. Although, knowing how things are going in agriculture is important from the point of view of the country's food security. Imagine the situation if the sanctions against the country will increase and ban the import of many imported products. I do not think they are doing this with the aim of introducing new taxes.
If scribes came to you, write what questions are in their questionnaires? And if they didn’t let you in and didn’t begin to answer the questions of the questionnaire, then why?
