Notes:
While the European Commission makes every effort to ensure accuracy and completeness of information, the data are subject to changes as a result of continuous improvement. Neither the European Union institutions and bodies nor any person acting on their behalf may be held responsible for the use which may be made of the information contained therein.
As of the accounting year 2014 FADN data were collected with the new Farm Return structure and content based on the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220.
Data available as of 2007 to 2022. The results presented in this dashboard refer to the European Union composed of 27 Member States, with the exception of the period before 2013 when Croatia was not yet part of the EU.
(EU-27 excludes the UK, but includes HR as of 2013).
Data concerning the accounting year 2022 are displayed as fully validated by the Commission services. The accounting year 2022 data of Croatia and Malta are not yet available and data from Romania are considered as preliminary due to further necessary validation in progress.
It should also be noted that the Standard Output Coefficients of 2017 and Integrated Farm Statistics of 2020 have been used for the most recent accounting years (i.e. 2018 to 2022).
Due to change in the minimum threshold occurred in Romania in 2018, historical data do not take into account farms with a standard output below 4 000 EUR, for comparability.
Other changes in the national thresholds occurred during the analysed period and are described in Annex 4 of the report. However, due to their limited impact on the overall results, they did not required recalculations or adjustments.
Data are displayed as averages.
Definitions:
Farm net value added (FNVA) is equal to gross farm income minus depreciation costs. It is used to remunerate the fixed factors of production (labour, land and capital), whether they be external or family factors. As a result, agricultural holdings can be compared regardless of whether family or non-family factors of production used.
FNVA = output + Pillar I and annual Pillar II payments + any national subsidies + VAT balance − intermediate consumption − farm taxes (income taxes are not included) − depreciation.
The value is calculated per annual work unit (AWU) to take into account the differences in the scale of farms and to obtain a better measure of the productivity of the agricultural workforce.
AWU= Annual working unit.
