1 Agriculture, agri-food and agri-industry Economic activity Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary Sectors Resource areas Food area Area A Area B Area X

2 Purpose The purpose of the statistics is to illustrate the economic development within mutually dependent business areas, the so-called resource areas

3 In principle, a resource area consists of 4 sub-areas Primary industries, industries producing raw materials Manufacturing industries Auxiliary industries producing investments goods Service industries

4 Resource areas 1.Food 2.Furniture/clothing 3.Tourism 4.Construction/Housing 5.ICT/Communication 6.Transport 7.Energy/Environment 8.Medicine/Health 9.Other industries

5 Delimitation of the resource area Food Primary industries, food products e.g. holdings with pigs Manufacturing industries e.g. slaughterhouses Auxiliary industries e.g. cold stores Service industries e.g. veterinary control

6 Datasources/primary data 1.Employment statistics 2.Accounts statistics 3.Purchases and sales by enterprises 4.VAT payments 5.Central Business Register

7 Variables 1.Number of enterprises 2.Number of full-time employees 3.Turnover 4.Exports

8 Delimitation/threshold Only enterprises engaged in a real market production Enterprises with a performed workload comprising at least 0.5 man-years

10 Perspective Inclusion of the industrial classification of the national accounts statistics → gross value added Incorporate the special accounts statistics for the agricultural sector with general accounts statistics → results before financial items, balance sheet, fixed assets, equity capital, annual investments etc. Break down at regional level → analysing the trends in rural/land districts

11 Future important topics Agriculture and agri-food system shall cover every stage of food production and preparation Shift from a focus on farm commodities to a broader focus on the agriculture and agri-food system As agricultural statisticians we need to bring our survey architecture in connection with business statistics in general

12 Future important topics cont. Unified system of detailed standard industrial codes which classify the main activities of each business entity TYPOLOGY→ISIC, NACE (2007 rev.) Input-output tables and analyses- product balances International classification regarding resource areas?
