Since not only the amount of agricultural statistics but its representativeness and accuracy are falling steadily in Korea, statistical data are inadequate to deal with actual problems concerning the structural change, consumer's behavior, policy decision, and so on. Recently, the UN & FAO provided a framework for national and international statistical systems that enable them to produce and to apply the core data and information needed to guide decision making. The purpose of this study is to evaluate agricultural statistics depending on global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics by the UN & FAO. The specific objectives of this study are to: 1) select core agricultural statistical data in Korea and 2) set order of priority for improving supplementation. This study examines all of statistical data on Korean agriculture including authorized and unauthorized statistical data and classified sectors into agriculture, livestock, environment, distribution/consumption and rural community. |
