Abstract: Household surveys in agricultural censuses are a primary method for obtaining fundamental agricultural data, and the quality of the resulting data directly affects the validity of statistical analyses and the reliability of decision-making. However, due to factors such as inconsistent data collection standards, farmer cognitive biases, inadequate verification mechanisms, and delays in capturing dynamic data, certain levels of error inevitably occur during the survey process. This paper investigates the underlying mechanisms of these errors, systematically analyzes the entire household survey process, and proposes targeted optimization strategies for error control to enhance the accuracy and consistency of agricultural census data.
