Accounts Statistics for Agriculture

The statistics are comparable back to 2008, where data have been calculated on the basis of Standard Output.

The statistics are partly comparable with data from SEGES (Danish agricultural advisory service), which compiles economic key figures for different types of farming. A coordination of the concepts is conducted.

Comparability - geographical

The data collected are submitted to EU's Directorate General for Agriculture (DG-Agri) and are used in EU's information network for Agricultural Book-Keeping, The data of each country are compiled by DG-Agri, thereby producing an overall statistic covering the EU as a whole and statistics for each individual country on the basis of common concepts, definitions and homogeneous rules for selection and weighting. The statistics are available at: FSDN public database .

Comparability over time

A comparable time series, going back to 2008 based on standard output, SO. Time series for agriculture, horticulture and organic farming going back to 1990, 1995 and 1996 respectively, but finishing by 2009, with typology based on standard gross margin, SGM.

Coherence - cross domain

SEGES collects farm account data primarily for advisory purposes. While Statistics Denmark and SEGES calibrate their estimates to achieve similar aggregate results, methodological differences mean that the statistics are not identical. Unlike Statistics Denmark, SEGES does not use a representative sample but instead publishes results for typical farms.

Coherence - internal

Data are obtained from several sources, including accounting offices affiliated with DLBR P/S, independent accountants and administrative registers. Data are linked primarily using the Central Business Register (CVR) number, ensuring a high degree of internal consistency.
