However, the 1997 Appropriations Act transferred the responsibility from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The census of agriculture is taken to obtain agricultural statistics for each county, State (including territories and protectorates), and the Nation. The first U.S. agricultural census data were collected in 1840 as a part of the sixth decennial census. From then to 1920, an agricultural census was taken as a part of each decennial census. Since 1920, a separate national agricultural census has been taken every 5 years. In Puerto Rico, the 2002 Census of Agriculture was taken in accordance with a Cooperative Agreement signed by NASS, the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture and the University of Puerto Rico Extension Service. It is the 15th census of agriculture of Puerto Rico and the first conducted with the same reference period as the United States. Puerto Rico's first census of agriculture was taken in 1910. From then to 1950, a census of agriculture was taken every 10 years in conjunction with the decennial censuses. In 1935, a special census of Puerto Rico was taken by the Puerto Rican Reconstruction Administration. In 1957, an amendment was made to the law to include Puerto Rico in the quinquennial national census of agriculture. The first census under this amendment was taken in 1959, separately from the 1960 decennial census. From 1959 to 1974, a census of agriculture was taken for the years ending in 4 and 9. In 1976, Congress authorized the census of agriculture to be taken for 1978 and 1982 to adjust the data reference year so that it coincided with other economic censuses. This adjustment in timing established the agriculture census on a 5-year data collection cycle for the years ending in 2 and 7. Data for previous censuses in Puerto Rico had been collected on a fiscal year basis, rather than on a calendar year basis. The 1997 Census of Agriculture was the last one taken using this approach. Data were collected for a 12 month period beginning in July 1, 1997 and ending June 30, 1998. Because of that, the reference year on the publication was changed to 1998, to more accurately reflect the collection period. This was a change from the past practice of using the years 2 and 7 in the publication title. To avoid this type of complication, and at the request of the Commonwealth agencies and other data users, the 2002 Census of Agriculture for Puerto Rico, was taken on a calendar year basis, bringing the Puerto Rico census on line with the United States. CENSUS USES The census of agriculture is the leading source of statistics about Puerto Rico's agricultural production and the only source of consistent, comparable data at the municipio level. Census statistics are used by Congress to develop and change farm programs, study historical trends, assess current conditions, and plan for the future. Many local programs use census data as a benchmark for designing and evaluating surveys. Government agencies, such as the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture, use census data to estimate losses and damages caused by natural disasters such as plagues, hurricanes, flooding, and severe droughts. Private industry uses census statistics to develop more effective production and distribution systems for the agricultural community. AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED The census of agriculture is required by law under the "Census of Agriculture Act of 1997," Public Law 105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, Section 2204g). The law directs the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a census of agriculture in 1997 and in every fifth year thereafter, covering the prior year. The census of agriculture includes each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. The census data for Puerto Rico were collected in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement approved by the Administrator of NASS and by the President of the Puerto Rico Planning Board. The census was conducted with the cooperation and assistance of the Commonwealth's Department of Agriculture, the University's Extension Service. FARM DEFINITION The statistics collected in the census relate to places with agricultural operations qualifying as farms according to the census definition. In Puerto Rico, this included all places from which $500 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the 12-month period between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002. COMPARABILITY OF DATA Most data are comparable between the 2002 census and the 1998 census. Users of the 2002 Census of Agriculture for Puerto Rico should note that the farm definition determined by NASS may differ from other organizations that provide agricultural statistics. For this reason, data provided in this report may not be directly comparable to data provided by the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture or other sources. In general, data for censuses prior to 1998 are not fully comparable because of changes in data collection methodology. All dollar values are expressed in current dollars, i.e., 2002 data are expressed in 2002 dollars and 1998 data in 1998 dollars. The dollar values have not been adjusted for changes in price levels between census years. For other data changes between censuses refer to the section on Major Data Changes in Appendix A. TABULAR PRESENTATION The three major groups of tables presented in this report are: Puerto Rico-Tables 1 through 15 present data for major items for all farms. Most data in these tables are accompanied by historical data from the 1998 census. Municipios-Tables 16 through 69 present more detailed data for major items for all farms by municipios, listed alphabetically, with totals for Puerto Rico. Summary-Tables 70 through 75 show more detailed information for 2002 broken out by different farm and operator characteristics. Data in these tables are classified by tenure of operator, type of organization, main occupation and age of operator, size of farm, market value of agricultural products sold, and type of farm. SPECIAL TABULATIONS Custom-designed tabulations can be developed to individual user specifications on a programming cost reimbursable basis. Inquiries about special tabulations should be directed to NASS Data Lab, Marketing and Information Services Office, NASS/USDA, Washington, DC 20250; by telephone on 1-800-727-9540; or by e-mail at nass@nass.usda.gov. REFERENCE PERIODS The 2002 inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery, equipment, building, and facilities, and the number of agregados or sharecroppers families are the number on hand as of December 31, 2002. Similar data for 1998 are as of July 30, 1998. 2002 crop production, crop and livestock sales, expenses, farm related income, hired workers, irrigation, land and land use, and tenure data are for the calendar year. Similar data for 1998 are for the 12 month period ending July 30, 1998. ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS The following abbreviations and symbols are used throughout the tables: - Represents zero. (D) Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual farms. (NA) Not available. (X) Not applicable. (Z) Less than half of the unit shown. cwt Hundredweight. sq ft Square feet. HISTORIA Por más de 150 años, el Negociado del Censo, bajo el Departamento de Comercio de los Estados Unidos, llevó a cabo el censo de agricultura. Sin embargo, el Acta de Apropiación de1997 transfirió esta responsabilidad del Negociado del Censo al Servicio Nacional de Estadísticas Agrícolas (NASS por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento de Agricultura Federal (USDA). El censo de agricultura se lleva a cabo para obtener estadísticas agrícolas para cada municipalidad, cada Estado (incluyendo los territorios y protectorados) y la Nación. Información sobre el primer censo agrícola fue recopilada en el año 1840 como parte del sexto censo decenal. De 1840 al 1920, el censo agrícola formó parte del censo decenal. A partir de 1920, y a intervalos de 5 años, se ha estado llevando a cabo un censo agrícola nacional por separado. En Puerto Rico, el Censo Agrícola Federal de 2002 se llevó a cabo mediante un acuerdo cooperativo entre el NASS, el Departamento de Agricultura del Estado Libre Asociado y el Servicio de Extensión Agrícola. Es el 15to. censo agrícola de Puerto Rico y el primero llevado a cabo al unísono con el censo de la Nación. El primer censo de agricultura en Puerto Rico se tomó en el 1910. Desde entonces y hasta el 1950, el censo agrícola se tomó cada 10 años como parte del censo decenal. En el 1935, la Administración de Reconstrucción de Puerto Rico llevó a cabo un censo especial. En el 1957, se enmendó la ley para incluir a Puerto Rico en el censo agrícola quinquenal de la Nación. El primer censo bajo esta enmienda se llevó a cabo en el 1959, separado del censo decenal de 1960. Desde el 1959 hasta el 1974, se condujo un censo de agricultura para años que terminaban en 4 y en 9. En el 1976, el Congreso autorizó para que se tomara un censo de agricultura en el 1978 y en el 1982 para ajustar los datos del informe anual para que coincidieran con los censos económicos. Este ajuste del tiempo, puso al censo de agricultura en un ciclo de cinco (5) años, recopilándose la información en años que terminan en 2 y en 7. En Puerto Rico, la información para los censos anteriores se recopiló en base al año fiscal y no en un año calendario. El censo agrícola de 1997 fue el último censo realizado en año fiscal. La información recopilada fue el período de 12 meses entre el 1ro de julio de 1997 y el 30 de junio de 1998. Por esta razón el año de referencia en la publicación fue cambiado a 1998 para reflejar de forma más precisa el período de recopilación. Este cambio nos sacó de la práctica de usar los años 2 y 7 en el título de la publicación. Para evitar este tipo de complicación, y a pedido de las agencias del Estado Libre Asociado, el Censo Agrícola Federal de 2002, se tomó en año calendario, poniendo así el censo de Puerto Rico en línea con el de los Estados Unidos. USOS DEL CENSO El censo de agricultura es la principal fuente estadística sobre la producción agrícola de Puerto Rico y la única fuente de información cotejable y consistente a nivel de municipio. El Congreso usa las estadísticas del censo para desarrollar programas agrícolas, analizar corrientes históricas, estudiar las condiciones actuales y planificar hacia el futuro. En Puerto Rico, entidades gubernamentales, tales como el Departamento de Agricultura, usan los datos del censo para estimar las pérdidas ocasionadas a la agricultura por desastres naturales tales como huracanes, inundaciones, sequías, plagas y epidemias. La industria privada utiliza las estadísticas del censo para tratar de fijar un sistema de producción y distribución más eficiente para la comunidad agrícola. AUTORIDAD Y COBERTURA El censo de agricultura es un requisito de ley establecido bajo el "Acta Sobre el Censo de Agricultura de1997," Ley Pública 105-113 (Título 7, Código de los EE. UU, Sección 2204g). Esta ley otorgó poderes al Secretario de Agricultura para llevar a cabo un censo agrícola en el 1997 y cada cinco años a partir de entonces, cubriendo el año anterior. El Censo Agrícola incluye cada estado de la Nación, Puerto Rico, Guam, las Islas Vírgenes de los EE. UU., y las Islas Marianas del Norte. La información del censo de Puerto Rico se recopiló mediante un acuerdo aprobado por el Administrador de NASS y por el Presidente de la Junta de Planificación de Puerto Rico. El mismo se llevó a cabo con la cooperación del Departamento de Agricultura del Estado Libre Asociado y del Servicio de Extensión Agrícola de la Universidad de Puerto Rico. DEFINICI N DE FINCA Las estadísticas recopiladas en el censo se refieren a lugares con actividades agrícolas que cualifican como fincas de acuerdo a la definición del censo. Aqui se incluyen todos los lugares donde se produjeron y se vendieron $500 o más en productos agrícolas, o que se hubiesen vendido, durante el período de 12 meses, entre el 1ro de enero de 2002 y el 31 de diciembre de 2002. COMPARABILIDAD DE DATOS La mayoría de la información en el censo del 2002 es comparable con la del censo de 1998. Usuarios del Censo Agrícola deben tomar en cuenta que la definición de finca determinada por NASS, podría ser diferente a la de otras fuentes que proveen estadísticas agrícolas. Por esta razón, la información presentada en esta publicación podría diferir de datos provenientes del Departamento de Agricultura o de otras fuentes. En general, la información censal recopilada no puede ser directamente comparada con los censos anteriores al censo del 1998 debido a los cambios en la metodología para recopilar los datos. Todo valor de dólar está expresado en el valor corriente, la información para el 2002 se expresa en el valor del dólar al año 2002 y la del 1998 se expresa en el valor del dólar al año1998. El valor del dólar no ha sido ajustado al cambio en el nivel de precios ocurrido entre censos. Para cambios en los datos entre censos refiérase a la sección sobre "Cambios Mayores" en el Apéndice A. PRESENTACI N DE TABLAS Los tres grupos principales de tablas que se presentan en este informe son: Puerto Rico-Las tablas 1 a la 15 presentan la información recopilada para todas las fincas.
