Data source: 

Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN)

 

Notes:

EU FADN data is derived from a sample of approximately 80 000 farms, designed to represent EU farming in terms of farm types, regions, and economic size. However, it is not specifically structured to represent organic farms in the EU, which may limit the potential for analysing organic farming trends using FADN data. 

For certain Member States, types of farming or crops and years, data are not available due to too small sample size (less than 15 farms) to disclose results.

 

Data are displayed as averages. 

 

The European Commission maintains this website to enhance public access to information collected under the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). Our goal is to keep this information timely and accurate. If errors are brought to our attention, we will try to correct them.

However, the Commission accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever with regard to the information on this site.

 

While the European Commission makes every effort to ensure accuracy and completeness of FADN information, these are subject to changes as a result of continuous improvement of the data. 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. 

 

Please note the following points. 

  1. 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. This Regulation sets a minimum economic size threshold for farms that are covered by FADN in each Member State. These thresholds may change over time to reflect structural changes, resulting in significant breaks in time series. For example, the threshold for Hungary increased from EUR 4 000 to EUR 8 000 in the accounting year 2023. 
  2. Information concerning the accounting year 2023 are displayed as preliminary data, as received by the Commission services and subject to validation.  
  3. For Malta the data for accounting years 2022 and 2023 are not yet available. 
  4. For Romania the data for accounting years 2021 and 2022 remain preliminary. 
  5. 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 2023).
  6. Additionally, as 2023 marked the first year of implementing the Common Agricultural Policy 2023-2027, the related subsidies data require further verification, particularly the changes in direct payments exceeding 20% (variable SE606) observed in Czechia, Germany, Estonia, Hungary and Austria.
