1. „Improvement of statistical methods on the use of organic and inorganic fertilisers” GRANT project No. 67303.2007.001-2007.556 Co-ordination meeting, Luxembourg, December 2008 HUNGARY

2. 1. ON CONSUMPTION  mostly for agricultural enterprises, but some limited data on private holdings  annual collection on sample base land area fertilised fertiliser (organic and inorganic) input by land use categories certain figures on active ingredients (inorganic) data for important group of crops Data from the past/recent (what is available?)

3. 2. ON SALES  enterprises selling agricultural means of production  data collection in each 3 month quantity (active ingredients) price Data from the past/recent (what is available?)

4. 3. DISSEMINATION  most important data are published (yearbooks, webpage) Data from the past/recent (what is available?)

5. ●new and increasing data needs (statistics, agro- environment, etc) ●on farm level ●on crop level ●need for methodological improvement (coverage, reliability and quality) ●reduction of the respondents’ burden Challenges

6. Aims of the project elaboration of a comprehensive statistical method to measure/estimate the fertiliser input quality improvement providing suitable input for other statistics, analyses less burden – „more” data

7. The project (Grant) 1.Analysing the available data 2.Pilot survey 3.Evaluation and recommendations (report)

8. Schedule Nov. 2007 signature Dec. 2009 end of project Dec. 2008 Mid-time pilot survey data analysis ●●●●●● ●● ● model, recommendations

9. 1. Analyses what is available? quality of the data? establishment of a „data-inventory” (2000 - ) comprehensive approach of handling data (4 experts in 5 years) and possible revision (if needed) what we need?

10. 2. Pilot survey testing a new questionnaire (block) what sort of data can/should be collected? how farmers react (burden)? costs/benefits

11. 2. Pilot survey in one region (South Great Plain) perfect conditions for crop production lot of farms almost all crops are produced

12. 2. Pilot survey in one region (South Great Plain) stratified sample (typology)

13. 12 strata 200 agr. enterprises (20%) 1800 + 150-200 private holdings (2%) plannedreality more strata for enterprises 200 agr. enterprises (19,2%) 1136 + 174 private holdings

14. Basis for sampling: FSS 2007 holdings enterprises (1037): stratified random sampling NUTS3 (3 counties) x 6 size classes (ESU) x 8 types (typology 1-8) private holdings a)larger ones (175) all b)enumeration districts where annual regular survey is carried out (1136) all

15. 2. Pilot survey in one region (South Great Plain) stratified sample (typology) very detailed questionnaire

16. Questionnaire 1. registration of fertilising is kept 2. use of calk/organic fertiliser on the holding in 2008 over the previous 3 years (2005-2007) during 2002-2004 during 1999 - 2001 3. use of calk (area and quantity) by LU categories, 2008 4. farm level export/import of organic fertilisers (quantity, 21 types), 2008

17. Questionnaire 5. organic fertilising, 2008 -crop level: by crop on arable land and fruit orchards -aggregated level: vineyard, kitchen garden, pastures and meadows, forest, under cover, nurseries -area and quantity -type (21 types) -additional info: incorporation, irrigation

18. Questionnaire 6. inorganic fertilising, 2008 -crop level: by crop on arable land and fruit orchards -aggregated level: vineyard, kitchen garden, pastures and meadows, forest, under cover, nurseries -area and quantity -month -product (> active ingredients) -additional info: type of fertilising, incorporation, irrigation

19. 2. Pilot survey in one region (South Great Plain) stratified sample (typology) very detailed form December 2008 (connected to regular annual data collection) voluntary base

20. 3. Evaluation and recommendations (report) data collection in 2010 (FSS/SAPM) and in the future less complex survey reducing burden elaboration of an estimation method on holding/crop level possible inclusion of administrative data others

21. Thanks for your attention!
