Moreover, the agricultural households refer to the:
- households of agricultural workers with no land who work regularly on the holdings of other private agricultural
producers;
- agricultural households with elderly members who own a holding, but are not capable of working and other
people cultivate their land, regardless of whether they pay for the cultivation of land, lease their land or give it to sharecroppers.
Their income comes from the holding and they do not have any other incomes,
- households whose members have acquired the right to receive agricultural pension on the basis of the Law on
Retirement and Disability Insurance;
- agricultural household whose members are temporarily working abroad.
A Mixed Household is a household with its own agricultural holding in which, in addition to the members who
work on the holding, one or more members are permanently employed outside the holding in the public or private
sector or are engaged with some non-agricultural service (self-employed craftsmen, catering workers, hauliers and so
on). This category also includes households owning agricultural holdings where one or more members are income
recipients (pensioners).
A household which owns an agricultural holding according to the stipulated criteria, and all its household members
able to work hold an employment outside the holding, are self-employed craftsmen, pensioners or other persons
with personal incomes, and in their spare time (afternoons, Sundays and holidays) work on the holding or pay for the
cultivation of land under their supervision, lease their land or give it to the sharecroppers, is also considered as a mixed
household, since part of its income also comes from the agriculture.
Non-agricultural households are the households which do not possess their own agricultural holdings, and one
or more of their members are permanently employed in the public or private sectors or perform certain non-agricultural
service (self-employed craftworkers, catering workers, hauliers, lawyers, artists, writers, musicians and so on) or are
income recipients (pensioners).
Definition for a Private Agricultural Holding
Each agricultural holding comprising at least 10 acres of cultivable land is considered to be a private agricultural
holding.
A holding smaller than 10 acres is considered to be an agricultural holding only if:
a) vegetables, fruits, flowers, aromatic and medicinal herbs, tobacco or poppy are cultivated on it for sale
b) the household owns for the purposes of sale few cattle.
Available and Used Funds
The available funds within a household comprise the financial means at the disposal of the household, the value
of products used for personal consumption from one's own production and the value of consumption credits and loans
raised and realized during 2007.
The used funds for the household include its expenditures for purchasing goods and services for personal consumption,
the value of the consumption from one's own production and the refunded part of the consumption credits
and loans.
Quantity of Goods for Personal Consumption
The data published in this review refer to the quantities of foodstuffs, beverages, cigarettes, heating briquettes,
firewood, electricity, gas and liquid fuels purchased by the household and consumed from one's own production.
The Household Level of Supplies with Durable Goods
In the table "The Household Level of Supplies with Durable Goods" data are presented on the durable goods
which are owned and used by the household in the flat/house.
The percentage of households possessing durable goods is computed on the bases of the total number of
households surveyed in the country, for all the households in total and for each socio-economic category separately.
Note:
In all the tables, in addition to the average estimate per household or per household member, the possible
estimate errors are computed as well. This means that the real processes are within the estimated averages, decreased
or increased for the percentage of the estimate error. We draw attention to the fact that all the data with an estimate error
higher than 20 % should be considered with certain reserves because of the possible high estimate error. All other data
should be used, bearing in mind this note
.
