The 7th Agricultural Census 2025 - Integrated Digital Count was officially launched on Wednesday. The event, held in Karachi, was marked by the participation of key dignitaries, including Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Muhammad Ali Malkani and Minister for Planning and Development Nasir Hussain Shah, and Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) Chief Statistician Dr Naeem-uz-Zafar, whereas secretaries, director generals and other officers of different provincial departments also attended the launch.
Dr Naeem-uz-Zafar emphasised the transformational nature of this census.
"This is not just a data collection exercise; it is a foundation for evidence-based decision-making," he stated.
Highlighting the census's objectives, Dr Naeem-uz-Zafar added, "The 7th Agricultural Census will provide critical insights into Pakistan's agrarian structure, crop patterns, livestock population, and mechanisation trends.
The use of advanced tools such as tablet-based data collection, GIS dashboards, and real-time monitoring ensures accuracy, reliability, and timeliness. This initiative aligns with international best practices and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) guidelines."
