The rural and agricultural census is conducted according to the Statistics Law every 10 years. 2025 is the 6th time Vietnam has conducted a rural and agricultural census; the first was in 1994; the following were in 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016.

According to Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh, Head of the Steering Committee for the 2025 Rural and Agricultural Census, this is a large-scale nationwide survey, very practical and important.

"The Central Steering Committee and local Steering Committees at all levels must do a good job of preparing for the general census, propagating and notifying participating investigation units to provide full information as requested" - the Deputy Prime Minister requested.

The results of the census will be the basis for assessing the current situation and results of implementing national target programs on industrialization, modernization of agriculture and rural areas and new rural construction.

This is the basis for developing plans and strategies for rural and agricultural development and improving the living standards of rural residents nationwide as well as in each locality.

The Deputy Prime Minister also noted the need to pay attention to and effectively and extensively implement information and propaganda work on mass media as well as on digital platforms and social networks about the census so that all levels, sectors and people clearly understand the scale and importance of the census, thereby providing correct, accurate and complete information for investigation activities.

Pay attention to completing the guidance documents, software, and information technology infrastructure to serve the general census. Carry out the selection of supervisors and statistical investigators well; organize adequate training for investigators.
