IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation ProgrammeBy the consultations with experts from Ministry <strong>of</strong> Agriculture, the price productiondoes not include taxes on products due to the lack <strong>of</strong> data <strong>for</strong> value added tax <strong>and</strong>other tax in this sector, which means the output at basic price, is equal to the one atproduction price. In particular:– Crop production is measured by using data on quantities <strong>and</strong> prices <strong>for</strong>different kinds <strong>of</strong> vegetal products. The elaboration <strong>of</strong> production wasdirectly made: the quantity <strong>of</strong> production multiplied by the average price(there are no different prices <strong>for</strong> different uses).– Livestock production includes deliveries <strong>of</strong> live animals <strong>for</strong> slaughter orexport <strong>and</strong> change in livestock net <strong>of</strong> imports <strong>of</strong> animals <strong>for</strong> breeding. Thechange in livestock is broken down into gross fixed capital <strong>for</strong>mation <strong>and</strong>change in inventories. Gross fixed capital <strong>for</strong>mation is equal to the variationover the year <strong>of</strong> breeding males over one year’s old, dairy cows, <strong>and</strong> nursecows. It also includes animal products such as: milk, eggs, honey, etc.Assessment <strong>of</strong> production <strong>of</strong> milk from cows is made on the basis <strong>of</strong> theiraverage annual number, resulting from the number <strong>of</strong> heads <strong>and</strong> the averageproductivity <strong>of</strong> milk per cow. The same reasoning is followed <strong>for</strong> theproduction <strong>of</strong> milk from sheep <strong>and</strong> goat. Number <strong>of</strong> heads referred to thesituation in the beginning <strong>of</strong> the year. (1 January).Assessment <strong>for</strong> theproduction <strong>of</strong> meat <strong>for</strong> each animal species is based on calculations made <strong>for</strong>the number <strong>of</strong> heads, namely, the number <strong>of</strong> heads to slaughter <strong>for</strong> anyanimals <strong>and</strong> the average weight <strong>for</strong> the head <strong>of</strong> slaughter.– Agriculture services mainly refer to the irrigation data available fromMinistry <strong>of</strong> Agriculture as total sum <strong>for</strong> irrigation (the data are not availablein detail)Hunting <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong>estry covers the conservation <strong>and</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ests, <strong>for</strong>example <strong>for</strong>est plantations; logging <strong>and</strong> gathering <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>est products such as berries<strong>and</strong> mushrooms <strong>and</strong> hunting.Estimates <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>estry production cover:- expenditures <strong>for</strong> a <strong>for</strong>estation, up keeping <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ests, other specific works;- the value <strong>of</strong> fallen trees;- revenues obtained from hunting <strong>and</strong> fishing <strong>for</strong> entertainment or sport;- value <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>est fruits <strong>and</strong> plants picked <strong>and</strong> sold;- value <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>est fruits <strong>and</strong> plants picked by the households <strong>for</strong> own consumptionThe data <strong>sources</strong> <strong>for</strong> hunting <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong>estry are the statistics available at the Ministry <strong>of</strong>Agriculture <strong>and</strong> Food <strong>and</strong> the consolidated budget <strong>and</strong> no adjustments are made bynational accounts.The own-account production <strong>of</strong> agricultural goods <strong>for</strong> owns final consumption isincluded in the production <strong>of</strong> agriculture.
