NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

 

Source and methods of data collection

 

Economic accounts for agriculture for the Republic of Croatia are based on survey data of the Central Bureau of Statistics, administrative data from the Croatian Agriculture Extension Service and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishery and Rural development.

 

Coverage

 

Economic accounts in agriculture cover the whole agricultural production (by both private family farms and legal entities).

 

Definitions

 

Agricultural production equals the value of crop output, animal output and the output of animal products, agricultural services output and the value of inseparable secondary agricultural activities.

The accounting period is a calendar year. The agricultural production 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.

 

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

 

Gross value added at basic prices equals the agricultural production at basic production less intermediate consumption at purchase prices.

 

Net value added at basic prices equals agricultural production at basic prices less fixed capital consumption.

 

Factor income equals net value added less taxes on production plus other subsidies on production.

 

Net operating surplus/mixed income equals factor income less compensations of employees.

 

Net entrepreneurial income equals net operating surplus/net mixed income less paid rents and interest plus received interest that refers exclusively to agricultural production.

 

Agricultural labour input comprises all persons and employees who work as salaried or non salaried labour force on typical agricultural jobs in agricultural industry. It is measured by annual work units. The annual work unit is a quotient of a total number of working hours done in the agricultural activity during a year and an average number of working hours, which amounts to 1 800 hours per annum for paid work and 2 304 hours per annum for unpaid work.
