NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

Sources and methods of data collection

The economic accounts for agriculture according to HR_NUTS 2021. –  HR NUTS 2 for the Republic of Croatia have been calculated on the basis of the survey data of the Croatian Bureau of Statistics as well as the administrative data of the Agricultural Extension Service and the Paying Agency for Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development.

The calculation methodology for economic accounts for agriculture according to HR_NUTS 2021. – HR NUTS 2 uses a combination of the top-down method for the quantitative indicators (intermediate consumption) and the bottom-up method (output, investments, all kinds of subsidies and labour force) using prices at the level of the Republic of Croatia per each calculation indicator.

The accounting period is one calendar year.

The output of the agricultural industry is valuated at basic prices, which means that all subsidies on products and services are included and all taxes on products and services are excluded.

The non-additivity of the sum of the individual components of the indicators is the result of applying the method of calculation and rounding at the detailed structure level of categories and subcategories.

Coverage

The economic accounts for agriculture according to HR_NUTS 2021. – HR NUTS 2 cover the whole agricultural production (by both private family farms and legal entities).

Definitions

Output of agricultural industry equals the sum value of crop and animal outputs, agricultural services and the value of inseparable non-agricultural secondary activities.

Crop production output covers the production of cereals, industrial plants, forage plants, vegetables and horticultural products, potatoes, fruits, wine, olive oil and other unmentioned agricultural products.

Animal production output includes the production and products of livestock, poultry and other animals.

Agricultural services and inseparable non-agricultural secondary activities output covers the value of services related to performing agricultural activities by use of agricultural mechanisation and the value of the production that cannot be separated from main activities and should be conducted on a farm (processing of milk, grapes, olives, fruits and vegetables).

Intermediate consumption is the value of inputs used for agricultural industry. It is valuated at purchase prices.

Gross value added at basic prices equals the output of agricultural industry at basic prices less the intermediate consumption at purchase prices.
