Background Information
A Swaziland population census taken in 1966 revealed a total of 374,571 inhabitants in this compact country of 6,704 square miles (17,363 square kilometres) surrounded on three sides by South Africa and by Mozambique on the fourth. Although predominantly an agricultural
country, no one until recently had undertaken an agricultural census to determine actual areas of land owned by individuals or the numbers of head of cattle. At the request of the Government, the UN Development Programme, with FAO as executing agency, sent an agricultural
statistician to train local counterparts, and now some 100 enumerators are calling on farmers throughout the country seeking answers to various agricultural questions. The establishment of cattle camps where livestock can regain condition is one of the measures being considered by the Government to deal with the ubiquitous problem of overgrazing.
