2 This document seeks to give users of FADN standard results the necessary information to enable them to interpret those results as accurately as possible. Section 1 consists of a brief outline of the basic aspects: the FADN, the typology of agricultural holdings, the system for weighting FADN results and the groups for which the standard FADN results are published. Section 2 explains in detail the definition of the standard results and the way in which they are calculated. In the Annex, the experienced user will find detailed formulas for calculating the standard results, such formulas referring to the positions of the various data collected in the FADN farm return. )XUWKHULQIRUPDWLRQPD\EHREWDLQHGIURP (8523($1&200,66,21 ',5(&725$7(*(1(5$/$*5,&8/785( 81,7$*5,$$QDO\VLVRIWKHVLWXDWLRQRIDJULFXOWXUDOKROGLQJV / %%586/6 7HO )D[ (PDLORICA@cec.eu.int,QWHUQHWKWWSHXURSDHXLQWFRPPDJULFXOWXUHULFD FARM ACCOUNTANCY DATA NETWORK (FADN) - Definitions of Variables used in FADN standard results 2/28

3 *(1(5$/&200(176 7KH)$'1 The FADN is a survey carried out by the Member States of the European Union. It was established in 1965 (Council Regulation (EEC) No 79/65) and every year it collects accountancy data from about agricultural holdings. Derived from national surveys, the FADN is the only source of micro-economic data that is harmonised (the bookkeeping principles are the same in all the countries) and is representative of the commercial agricultural holdings in the Union (holdings are selected to take part in the survey on the basis of sampling plans established at the level of each region in the Union). The survey does not, however, cover all the agricultural holdings in the Union (universe defined by Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings) but only those which are of a size allowing them to rank as commercial holdings. 7KH&RPPXQLW\W\SRORJ\RIDJULFXOWXUDOKROGLQJV It proved necessary, in order to present and analyse the results and also establish the sampling plans and weight the results, to define a method for classifying agricultural holdings which was common to all the countries of the Union. Such a method was established in 1985 by Commission Decision EEC/85/377. Broadly speaking, the Community typology defines the (economic) size of an agricultural holding on the basis of its potential gross added value (total standard gross margin). Specialisation, for its part, is determined on the basis of the contributions of the different lines of production to the total standard gross margin. To determine the total standard gross margin, coefficients established at the level of the different regions of the Union for the different lines of productions are taken as a basis: e.g. standard gross margin for one hectare of wheat or for one dairy cow. For each holding, the number of hectares of wheat or of dairy cows is multiplied by the corresponding coefficients and the total is calculated. The standard gross margin (SGM) coefficients are calculated at regular intervals and correspond to threeyear averages. The holding s economic size is expressed in European size units (ESUs). The total standard gross margin, expressed in ECU's, is divided by the ESU coefficient. Initially, one ESU corresponded to ECU 1 000: a holding with a total standard gross margin of ECU therefore had an economic size of 8 ESUs). It became necessary over the years to revalue the ESU coefficient at regular intervals in order to stop inflation from artificially causing agricultural holdings to grow in size. For the 1997 FADN survey, holdings are classified using the 1992 SGMs ( period) and the ESU coefficient corresponds to ECU :HLJKWLQJRI)$'1UHVXOWV In order to extrapolate the data in the sample to all the holdings in the Union covered by the survey, a special weighting system is used. It is based on the principle of free expansion: each holding in the sample has a weight corresponding to the number of agricultural holdings it represents. FARM ACCOUNTANCY DATA NETWORK (FADN) - Definitions of Variables used in FADN standard results 3/28

4 Briefly, the holdings in the sample and in the population are stratified (i.e. formed into groups) according to the same criteria: region, specialisation and size. For example, farms that are located in Brittany, which are specialised in dairying and which are of a large size. If there are 20 farms belonging to this group in the FADN sample and if there are in the population (most recent Community structure survey) then each individual farm in the sample for that group will have a weight of / 20 = 50. The FADN weighting system has been optimised with a view to providing good averages for groups (average family farm income on Italian wine holdings, for example) rather than good total values for groups (number of hectares under vines in Italy), the collection of the latter type of data being covered by other survey procedures. 3UHVHQWDWLRQRIWKHUHVXOWV The amount of information available in the FADN databank is vast, and the results are presented in the form of standard tables. These tables set out the average standard results for groups of holding determined according to their specialisation, economic size, surface area and family farm income class.

For animals that are present on the holding for more than one year, the value corresponding to the increase in volume is estimated. $QLPDOSURGXFWV= Sales + Household consumption + Farm use + (Closing valuation - Opening valuation). The products are: milk and milk products from cows, ewes, goats, wool, hens eggs, other animal products (stud fees, manure, other eggs, etc.) and receipts from animals reared under a service contract (animals not owned by farmer) and honey. Net change in or estimation of the value corresponding to the increase in volume of the animals present on the holding for more than one year. The estimation makes it possible not to include in the value of annual output short-term price changes affecting animals that will be sold only in the medium or long term. The animals for which this particular calculation is made are: equines, cattle other than cattle under one year old, cull cows, goats, ewes, breeding sows (for explanatory notes, see Section 3 and the Annex). The values are recorded after deduction of the amount of the coresponsibility levy (if any) but before deduction of the amount of the super levy (if any). The latter is entered as a negative subsidy specific to the milk sector. Production + change in valuation. Net change in valuation in respect of calves for fattening, other cattle less than one year old and cull dairy cows; change in valuation adjusted in respect of all other categories of cattle.

SE265 farm use - Value of crop products produced and used on the holding to obtain another final agricultural product. The products concerned are mainly crop products serving as feed for animals held on the holding, and seeds and seedlings produced and used on the holding. These products are taken into account in the amount of agricultural output. The cost items relating to feedingstuffs and seeds account for the major part of that amount.

Costs linked to the agricultural activity of the holder and relating to the output of the accounting year. Included are amounts relating to inputs produced on the holding (farm use) = seeds and seedlings and feed for grazing stock and granivores, but not manure. When calculating FADN standard results, farm taxes and other dues are not included in the total for costs but are taken into account in the balances with the State (subsidies - taxes) on current and non-current operations. The personal taxes of the holder are not to be recorded in the FADN accounts. = Specific costs + Overheads = Crop-specific inputs (seeds and seedlings, fertilisers, crop protection products, other specific crop costs), livestock-specific inputs (feed for grazing stock and granivores, other specific livestock costs) and specific forestry costs.

All farm subsidies on crops, including compensatory payments and set-aside premiums. Amounts paid to producers of cereals, oilseeds and protein crops (COP crops) as a result of the fall in prices as part of the 1992 reform of the CAP.

As a result, holdings can be compared irrespective of the family/nonfamily nature of the factors of production employed. This indicator is sensitive, however, to the production methods employed: the ratio (intermediate consumption + depreciation)/fixed factors may vary and therefore influence the FNVA level. For example, in the livestock sector, if production is mostly without the use of land (purchased feed) or extensive (purchase and renting of forage land). Wages (and other costs) paid, rent (and other costs) paid and interest (after deduction of interest subsidies) paid. Payment for contract work is included in intermediate consumption (overheads). Subsidies and taxes nor arising from current productive activity in the accounting year. Corresponds to the payment for family fixed factors of production (work, land and capital) and the payment for the entrepeneur s risks (loss/profit) in the accounting year.

Such changes are calculated as the value at the closing valuation less the value at the opening valuation, as recorded in Table D of the FADN farm return for each category of livestock. However, in the case of animals present on the farm for more than one year and, in particular, of breeding livestock, a special problem arises. It was decided, in the context of the annual assessment of incomes on agricultural holdings, that an increase in the value of the production instrument due to an increase in prices was not to be considered as income. An increase in the volume of the instrument of production, on the other hand, has to be taken into account. $&&2817$1&<$3352$&+ The approach adopted in connection with variations in valuations is set out in Figure A1 below: Pc joint price and pure price effect volume effect Po Vo = Qo x Po pure volume effect Qo Qc where Po and Pc are respectively prices at opening valuation and closing valuation; where Qo und Qc are respectively quantities at opening valuation and closing valuation; values at opening valuation and closing valuation are therefore: Vo = Qo x Po and Vc = Qc x Pc. Figure A1 shows that the variation in valuation Vc - Vo corresponds to: an increase in the value of the quantities presented at the opening valuation ( pure price effect : Qo x (Pc - Po) an increase in volume, valued at the opening valuation ( pure volume effect): (Qc - Qo) x Po an increase which is brought on by the combined effect of the changes in price and in volume ( joint price and volume effect): (Qc - Qo) x (Pc - Po) The way information is recorded in the FADN accounts does not make it possible to distinguish the proportion of the joint effect which is due to the increase in volume and that which is due to the increase in price. Assuming that there is a constant increase in prices during an accounting year accompanied by a quantitative increase spread evenly over that accounting year, it can be estimated that half of the joint effect is due to changes in prices and the other half to changes in quantities. The increase in volume (LVVAL) which has to be taken into account for the calculation of incomes is therefore: (1) (Qc - Qo ) x Po + [(Qc - Qo) x (Pc - Po)] / 2 = (Qc - Qo) x [(Po + Pc)] / 2 = LVVAL which corresponds to the increase in volume, valued at the average price obtaining in the accounting year. 0(7+2'2)(67,0$7,21 In practice, the FADN return provides no information on Qo and Qc or Po and Pc but only on Vo, Vc and the number of livestock at opening and closing valuations, i.e. No and Nc.

19 It was felt that N (number of livestock) was not a good estimation of Q (volume). Moreover, in the case of some holdings, certain animals are present at the opening valuation and not at the closing valuation, and vice versa. It was felt, however, that V / N was a good estimation of the price P = V / Q provided that that price was not calculated for an individual holding but for all the holdings of a region, i.e. as Po* and Pc*. Hence, good estimations may be obtained of Qo = Vo / Po* and of Qc = Vc / Pc*. By applying these principles to the formula (1), the following is obtained: (2) LVVAL = [( Vc / Pc* ) - ( Vo / Po* )] x {[ Po* + Pc* ] / 2 } By multiplying the first expression of the right-hand term by Po* and at the same time dividing the second expression by Po*, the term remains unchanged: (3) LVVAL = {[( Vc / Pc* ) - ( Vo / Po* )] x Po* } x {[ Po* + Pc* ] / 2 } x ( 1 / Po* ) The right-hand term may be rewritten: (4) LVVAL = [( Vc / Pc* / Po*) - ( Vo / Po* / Po*)] x {[( Po* / Po*) + ( Pc* / Po*)] / 2} By defining ( Pc* / Po* ) = REGIDX (regional index of price changes), the term may be simplified as follows: (5) LVVAL = [( Vc / REGIDX ) - Vo ] x {[ 1 + REGIDX ] / 2 } which is the formula used for estimating the variations in livestock valuations for the purpose of calculating the FADN standard results. )2508/$6$33/,('727+(9$5,286&$7(*25,(62)/,9(672&.
