Gross Agricultural Output
Methodology | Contents |
Final data for harvest of agricultural commodities (Zem V 6-01) and production of basic animal products (Zem HZV 1-04, Zem HZV 2-04, Zem HZV 3-04) and data about livestock census (Zem HZ 1-01) were the main sources for calculation of the gross agricultural output. All products for own final consumption (self-supplement) were included in individual items.
Breeding cattle production is qualified as a difference in weight of breeding cattle categories upon ascertainment on livestock census carried out on 1 March 2002 and on 1 April 2003. Exports and imports of breeding animals are reflected in the production during the observed year (then the production can be positive or negative).
Individual agriculture products in quantities are valued at constant prices expressed in relation to 1989 and at current prices of the observed year.
Since the year 1995 there has not been any option to obtain calculated fields of the gross agricultural output for each districts. However calculation methods for the whole republic are full comparable with methods applied in previous years and they enable to monitor development of the agriculture production in the Czech Republic.
Detailed methodology is described in “Instructions for balance compiling of the gross agricultural output in regions and districts” issued by Czech Statistical Office in the year 1977, ref. 2858/77. Instructions have been updated continually
