SEP 2024 is a series of activities for the 2023 Agricultural Census (ST). Therefore, the information from the 2023 ST updating and enumeration activities can be used as a sampling framework for the SEP 2024 activities. The scope of SEP 2024 covers three statistical units: individual agricultural enterprises (UTP), legal agricultural enterprises (UPB), and other agricultural enterprises (UTL). The success of this survey requires strong support, collaboration, and commitment from all implementing teams, both those responsible for activities at the central, provincial, and district/city levels, to carry out their duties professionally, with integrity, and a sense of responsibility.

At the end of the training, the Head of BPS Mamasa District, Aan Setyawan, expressed his gratitude for the cooperation of the committee and training participants in making the event a success and emphasized that the predetermined schedule could be met by the enumerators with the hope that the daily targets could be met because if even one schedule is delayed, all subsequent stages will also be delayed, so that our work together can be completed properly and the evaluation obtained will result in long-term cooperation.
