ECONOMIC ACCOUNTS FOR AGRICULTURE: Further notes
1. Introduction
This database is unique in the sense that it is providing harmonized
agricultural economic data for all OECD countries, comparable with
the EU-15. A particular effort has been undertaken by OECD to
assess the implications of the 1993 revision of the System of
National Accounts (SNA 1993), together with the subsequent adaptations
for Europe (ESA 1995 and EAA 1997). The result can be considered as a
fairly solid compromise, reconciling both the needs from an EU perspective
with the sometimes different needs and characteristics
of other developed economies of the OECD.
The International Trade and Structural Economic Statistics Section (TASS),
which is responsible for this publication invites comments from users in
order to further enhance its usefulness and to improve the coherence of
concepts applied and, consequently, the comparability of data.
This is the electronic 2003 edition of the statistical publication on
Economic Accounts for Agriculture of the OECD.
It contains data organised in one publication according to the sequence
of accounts adopted for agricultural economic analysis.
The CD ROM also contain an explanatory notes file including the
presentation and the methodological approach of Economic Accounts for
Agriculture, as well as notes and the list of items used to elaborate
the accounts
2.1 Presentation and Methodological Approach
2.1.1 Measure
The measures are expressed in four different value terms: national currency
current and constant 1995 prices, million current and constant 1995 USD
converted using PPPs (Purchasing Power Parities).
In line with SNA 1993 recommendations, output values are expressed,
whenever possible, at basic prices. That is, subsidies on products have been
added to and taxes on products (other than VAT) have been subtracted from
producer priced-based output.
2.1.2 Output concepts
ôTotal Agricultural outputÆÆ is composed of ôAgricultural Outputö and
ôNon-Agricultural Secondary Activitiesö. ôAgricultural Outputö is
composed of ôAgricultural Goods Outputö and ôAgricultural Service
Outputö. In addition, to accommodate specific necessary adjustments (e.g.
forestry activities which could not be separately identified) the category
ôMiscellaneousö has been added to ôAgricultural Outputö.
ôAgricultural Goods Outputö is composed of ôCrop Outputö and ôAnimal
Outputö, which in turn are broken down by products according to the
standard OECD classification.
2.1.3 Sequence of accounts items
As said, the SNA 93 recommendations are followed.
The starting point of the Current Transaction Accounts is the Production
Account.
From the Output values Input values (Intermediate consumption) are
subtracted to obtain Gross Value Added (GVA). After the deduction of
fixed capital consumption from GVA, Net Value Added (NVA) is
obtained.
The Generation of Income Account uses the NVA as starting point. After
subtraction of ôOther taxes on productionö and addition of ôOther
subsidies on productionö, Factor Income is obtained. The result of
subtracting ôCompensation of employeesö is the position ôOperating
Surplus/Mixed Income (net)ö, which represents the yield from land,
capital and unpaid labour.
This last position is again the starting point for another current transaction
account, the Entrepreneurial Income Account. After balancingö interest
paidö and öinterest receivedö and ôrents and other real estate rental
chargesö, the Net Entrepreneurial Income, that is the yield from unpaid
labour, remuneration from land and capital, is obtained.
The Sequence of current transaction accounts is followed by the Capital
Account of accumulation accounts. It consists of the Gross Fixed Capital
Formation (GFCF), the resident producersÆ acquisitions less disposals of
fixed assets during a given period, a broken down by agricultural and nonagricultural
products, and other GFCF. After the deduction of fixed capital
consumption, Net Fixed Capital Formation (NFCF) is obtained.
In addition to GFCF/NFCF, Stock Changes are shown for input stocks
(e.g. raw materials and supplies) and for output stocks (e.g. stocks of
finished products and work-in-progress). Similarly, Capital Transfers (e.g.
investment grants) are part of the new EAA standard tables.
2.2 The countries
The countries are the OECD Member countries (i.e. 30 countries). In
addition, aggregates covering the European Union (EU-15) and the Euro
Zone (EUR-11 until 31/12 2000. From 1/1 2001 EUR-12) are provided.
The full list of countries is provided in the Annex. Concerning OECD's
newest Member countries (Mexico, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary
and Korea), a particular effort has been undertaken to include them
progressively in the Economic Accounts for Agriculture framework. As
can be seen from the table, visible progress has been made, but much still
remains to be done.
Data are submitted directly to the OECD by most non-EU OECD Member
countries and are published without any further changes. For the non-EU
OECD Member countries Unites States and Canada, data are transmitted from
USDA and Statistic Canada. Data for the fifteen European Union (EU)
countries are transmitted to the OECD by Eurostat.
2.3 The Metadata
This electronic edition of EAA provides extensive metadata. This includes: a
description of the methodology applied, calculation methods, specific notes,
etc. The metadata may be viewed via the "Explanatory notes" file.
