From the census · Chapter 16 of 16 Read the full chapter →

18 organisations are counted with Agriculture & Marine as their primary sector — 1% of everything with a sector on record, and the smallest of 16. An estimated 67% of the sector is counted, measured against an independent listing rather than assumed.

The 33 listed on this page and the 18 counted above are different claims, not a discrepancy: this page lists everyone who works in Agriculture & Marine; the census counts those whose primary sector it is.
