NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

Sources and methods of data collection

Data on the prices of purchased and rented farmland are obtained from the available administrative data of the Tax Administration of the Ministry of Finance. Data from the Farm Structure Survey (FSS) conducted by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics are also used for the calculations. The Farm Structure Survey is a sample-based survey carried out every three years. Consequently, the results of the mentioned survey affect the calculation results of the Land Prices in 2021 – Provisional Data survey. Data for 2021 were calculated based on FSS 2016. The data are calculated in line with the Common Methodology on Agricultural Land Prices and Rents (Eurostat, version of February 2017).

The data are collected exclusively for agricultural land used for agricultural purposes.

The value of any buildings on agricultural land and land transactions between relatives are excluded from the prices.
