The Russian government has approved the postponement of the All-Russian Agricultural Census from 2026 to 2027. This was reported on the website of the cabinet.
“Government decision: approve the draft federal law “On the suspension of Part 1 of Article 5 of the federal law“ On the All-Russian Agricultural Census” and submit it to the State Duma in the prescribed manner,” the report says.
It is clarified that the postponement is due to the fact that in 2026 two large statistical events coincide - the All-Russian Agricultural Census and the population microcensus.
