Popis poljoprivrede 2010 Agricultural Census 20104. SO COEFFICIENT UPDATE AND TRANSMISSIONAt least once in about 10 years, at the time of the FSS carried out in the form of a census, thebasic data for determining SO are renewed on the basis of the "direct observation" method.Between the two FSS-census the SO coefficients are updated each time there is a new FarmStructure Survey. The update is done either by:• Using the "direct observation"-method, or• Using an "updating" method for bringing SO values up to date.5. DETERMINING THE ECONOMIC SIZE OF AN AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGGeneral definitionThe economic size of a holding is equal to its total SO. Each hectare or head of livestockpresent on the holding is multiplied by the corresponding SO coefficient, the given result foreach characteristic is the individual SO of the characteristic. The sum of the individual SOs isthe economic size of the holding. As a reminder no value for the subsidies and for the othergainful activities directly related to the holding are included in the economic size of theholding.The total economic size of the holding is therefore depending on its structure (number ofhectares and animals) and on the SO coefficients applied in the region the holding belongs to.In other words, the economic size of a holding corresponds to the output a farmer canpotentially expect to get from his/her land and livestock in a given region.Economic size classesThe farms are classified according to their economic potential in 14 economic size classes.The economic size classes are used:• To establish the threshold defining the field of observation for the FADN.• To establish the selection plan of the holdings to be part of the FADN sample and, inconsequence, to weight the FADN results.• To display the results of the agricultural holdings broken down by robust size classes atnational or EU level.Zavod za statistiku Crne Gore 27 Statistical Office of Montenegro
