Background - Repopulation

• From 2004 a change in the methodology used to publish June Agricultural Survey Data was adopted. This was to 'repopulate' data that would otherwise be suppressed due to disclosure and data-protection reasons.
• The repopulated data would be a random number based on the original data, so would be a good approximation of the actual value, without compromising confidentiality.
