Summary:Many National Statistical Offices are modernizing the systems and processes underpinning the production of official agricultural statistics. Moving data and processes to the cloud, collecting survey data via the web, automating editing and imputation, incorporating more administrative, remotely sensed and other non-survey data in the estimation process, and more flexible dissemination of information are only some of the areas of current efforts. Although specific modernization efforts have been described, less discussion has been focused on exactly what the future of official agricultural statistics will be. During the 9th International Conference on Agricultural Statistics, which was held May 17–19, 2023, at the World Bank in Washington DC USA, four statistical leaders with diverse perspectives envision the not-too-distant future of official agricultural statistics in 2040.
