NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

Sources and methods of data collection

Data on the prices of purchased farmland are obtained from the available administrative data of the Ministry of Finance’s Tax Administration. 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 2025 survey. The data for 2025 have been calculated on the basis of FSS 2023 results. 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.

The data refer to the prices of specific categories of agricultural land (arable land, meadows and pastures). The aforementioned land categories were selected according to Eurostat’s recommendations.
