Abstract

This paper deals briefly with the history, scope and categories that comprise Japan's agricultural statistics, and the problems which demand attention when using the data. Particular attention will be given to problems such as (1) the underestimation of the agricultural production statistics by the government before World War II, (2) the conceptual discrepancy in definition between the Farm Household Economy Survey and the Census of Agriculture and Forestry over what constitutes full-time and part-time farm households, (3) new directions for the future development of agricultural statistics.
