Sources and methods of data collection
Volume indices of agricultural production are calculated from data obtained through regular agricultural statistical surveys:
Coverage and comparability
According to the National Classification of Activities, 2007 version, the calculation of the agricultural production volume comprises section A Agriculture, forestry and fishing, division 01 Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities, excluding group 01.7 Hunting, trapping and related service activities.
Agricultural production volume indices are calculated on the basis of data on the production of 65 agricultural products.
The aggregation factor for the calculation of indices was a moving three-year average of average producer prices obtained through reports on sale and purchase of agricultural products (PO-31a/Q and PO-31b/Q forms).
Definitions
Net volume indices of agricultural production were calculated out of the total production, lessened by products used for feeding the livestock.
Chain indices of agricultural production are calculated on the basis of data on production, which are then multiplied with aggregates (moving three-year average of prices obtained through statistical surveys on sale and purchase of agricultural products) for current and previous years. Chain indices are obtained by calculating the ratio of a current and previous year.
