Survey guide notices have been sent by mail in advance from the Statistical Office to target households. According to the participation methods provided, residents can participate in the online survey via PC or mobile devices anytime and from anywhere.

The survey results will be used as basic data for establishing agriculture, forestry and fisheries policies and can be verified on the National Statistics Portal (https://kosis.kr) in September 2021.
