3.1. Data description

The Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA) provide detailed information on income from agricultural activity.

The methods are laid down in the Regulation (EC) 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

3.2. Classification system

The EAA are an integral part of the ESA. As such, they are compiled based on NACE Rev.2, the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community. The list of activities which defines the agricultural industry corresponds, in principle, to Division 01 of that classification: Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities. However, some differences exist and they are detailed in Annex 1 of Regulation (EC) 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

3.2.1. Level of detail for compilation of EAA

See the detail below.

3.2.1.1. Components of the Production account : Output

See sheets 3.2.1.1.(a) to 3.2.1.1.(c) in the attached Excel file 'Annex 1 - Components of the Production account - Output' in the section Annexes at the end of the file.

3.2.1.2. Components of the Production account : Intermediate consumption

See sheets 3.2.1.2 (a) to 3.2.1.2 (c) in the attached Excel file 'Annex 2 - Components of the Production account - Intermediate consumption' in the section Annexes at the end of the file.

3.2.1.3. Components of the Generation of income account

See sheet 3.2.1.3 in the attached Excel file 'Annex 3 - Components of the Generation of income account' in the section Annexes at the end of the file.

3.2.1.4. Components of the Entrepreneurial income account

See sheet 3.2.1.4 in the attached Excel file 'Annex 4 - Components of the Entrepreneurial income account' in the section Annexes at the end of the file.

3.2.1.5. Components of the Capital account

See sheet 3.2.1.5 in the attached Excel file 'Annex 5 - Elements of the Capital account' in the section Annexes at the end of the file.

3.3. Coverage - sector

The sector covers all units involved in agricultural production, even if some of those units have more important economic activities or if the purpose of some others is not commercial. However, kitchen gardens (producing for own-consumption only) are not included.

The list of agricultural activities characteristic of the EAA corresponds to the seven groups of Division 01 of NACE Rev 2 activities (01.1 to 01.7), with the following caveats:

- the inclusion of the production of wine and olive oil (exclusively using grapes and olives grown by the same holding),

- the exclusion of certain activities which, in NACE Rev. 2, are considered as agricultural services (e.g. the operation of irrigation systems - only agricultural contract work is taken into account here).

3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions

A detailed methodology can be found in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 138/2004.

The EAA are satellite accounts of the European System of Accounts (ESA) providing complementary information and concepts adapted to the particular nature of the agricultural industry.

The EAA are shown as a sequence of inter-related accounts. As the EAA are based on the industry concept, the sequence of accounts is limited to the first accounts of the current account:

- the production account and

- the generation-of-income account

whose balancing items are value added and operating surplus, respectively.

Nevertheless, it should be possible to compile other accounts, at least in part, in so far as the relevant flows can be clearly attributed to them. The accounts in question are the following:

- the entrepreneurial income account (one of the current accounts) and

- the capital account (one of the accumulation accounts).

The EAA provide a wide range of indicators on the economic activities in the agricultural sector: these include output, intermediate consumption, gross and net value added, gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), both in current prices and in constant prices, as well as compensation of employees, other taxes and subsidies on production, net operating surplus or net mixed income, property income and net entrepreneurial income in current prices.

Three indicators of the economic performance of agriculture are defined in the EAA:

•Indicator A: Index of the real income of factors in agricultural per annual work unit.
•Indicator B: Index of real net agricultural entrepreneurial income per unpaid annual work unit.
•Indicator C: Net entrepreneurial income of agriculture.

3.4.1. Components of the Production account : Output

Agricultural output is the total of agricultural products and the goods and services produced in inseparable non-agricultural secondary activities created during the accounting period. It is recorded as a resource in the production account and it is valued and recorded at the time it is generated, that is when produced and not when paid by the purchaser.

In the compilation of the EAA, output is progressively broken down in quantity terms (see paragraph 2.037 of Regulation (EC) 138/2004).

Output is valued at the basic price. The basic price is the price receivable by the producers from the purchaser for a unit of a good or service produced, minus any tax (i.e. taxes on products) payable on that unit plus any subsidy (i.e. subsidies on products) receivable on that unit. The basic price excludes any transport charges invoiced separately by the producer. It also excludes holding gains and losses on financial and non-financial assets.

The valuation of output at the basic price makes it necessary to distinguish between taxes (other than VAT) on products and subsidies on products, on the one hand, and other taxes and subsidies on production, on the other.

3.4.2. Components of the Production account : Intermediate consumption

Intermediate consumption represents the value of all goods and services used as inputs in the production process, excluding fixed assets whose consumption is recorded as fixed capital consumption.

The inputs used for intermediate consumption should be valued at the purchaser prices for similar goods and services applicable at the time of their insertion in the production process. The purchaser price includes taxes less subsidies on products (but excluding deductible taxes like VAT on the products). It also includes any transport charges paid separately by the purchaser to take delivery at the required time and place.

3.4.3. Components of the Generation of income account

In the case of the generation of income account, the distributive transactions relate to other taxes on production, other subsidies on production and the compensation of employees.

For details please see sheet 3.4.3 - Other questions in the attached Excel file 'Annex 3 - Components of the Generation of income account' in the section Annexes at the end of the file.

3.4.4. Components of the Entrepreneurial income account

The entrepreneurial income account records certain types of property income (mainly land rents, interest and property income attributed to insurance policy holders).

For details please see sheet 3.4.4 - Other questions in the attached Excel file 'Annex 4 - Components of the Entrepreneurial income account' in the section Annexes at the end of the file.

3.4.5. Elements of the Capital account

In addition to Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), the capital account records distributive transactions corresponding to aid for investment and other capital transfers.

3.5. Statistical unit

The overall unit is the agricultural sector. However, in order to provide more detailed information and to analyse flows generated by the production process and the use of goods and services, it is necessary to select units which emphasise relationships of a technical-economic kind. This means that, as a rule, institutional units must be broken-down into smaller and more homogeneous units with regard to the kind of production (local kind-of-activity units/local KAUs) are intended to meet this requirement (ESA 2010, 2.147).

The local KAU is defined as the part of a KAU which corresponds to a local unit. The institutional unit's information system must be capable of indicating or calculating for each local KAU at least the value of output, intermediate consumption, compensation of employees, the operating surplus and employment and gross fixed capital formation (ESA 2010, 2.148).

The agricultural holding, (the unit currently used for statistical studies of agriculture (censuses, surveys of the structure of agricultural holdings), is the local KAU most appropriate to the agricultural industry (even though certain other units, such as wine or olive oil cooperatives, or units performing contract work, etc., have to be included in it). Nevertheless, it should be pointed out that the variety of agricultural activities that can be performed on agricultural holdings makes them a special type of local KAU. The strict application of the ESA rule to units and their group should in fact result in a division of the agricultural holding into several separate local KAUs in cases where several activities of the NACE Rev. 2 four-digit class are performed on the same holding.

3.6. Statistical population

Although the ESA gives pre-eminence to local KAUs, the unit best suited to analyse the production process is the unit of homogeneous production (UHP). This unit is used to analyse inputs and outputs, since it corresponds exactly to a type of activity. Institutional units are thus divided into as many UHPs as there are activities (other than ancillary). By grouping these units of homogeneous production it is possible to break down the economy into 'pure' (homogeneous) branches. A UHP cannot, as a rule, be directly observed. Therefore, the accounts of homogeneous branches cannot be compiled on the basis of groups of UHPs. The ESA describes a method for compiling these accounts.

The use of the local KAU as the basic unit for the agricultural industry entails recording non-agricultural secondary activities where they cannot be distinguished from the main agricultural activity (inseparable non-agricultural secondary activities of local agricultural KAUs) The selection criterion for inseparable non-agricultural secondary activities is rather the type of activity than the nature of the product. For example, agro-tourism services provided by a farm must only be included if they cannot be separated from its agricultural activities.

3.7. Reference area

The entire territory of Hungary.

3.8. Coverage - Time

Data are available from 1998.

3.9. Base period

Accounts for year n are calculated at current prices and at prices of year n-1. The base year for prices of year n-1 is 2015.

Value, volume and price indices are also obtained for reference year: n-1=100.

Quantities are shown in 1 000 t, (in 10 000 hl, for grape must and wine) to one decimal place. For animals, live weight is used.

Prices are shown per tonne (per 10 hl for wine and grape must).

Values are shown in million HUF.

Labour input is expressed in 1000 AWUs.

The reference year is 2020. The reference period is based on the calendar year.

6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements

EU legislation:

Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 December 2003 on the economic accounts for agriculture in the Community as amended

National legislation:

The Act CLV of 2016 on Official Statistics provides the general regulatory framework of surveys implemented in Hungary. Surveys of the reference period are included in the yearly National Program of Statistical Data Collection (NPSDC) which is a Government Decree.

6.1.1. Responsible institution for compilation of EAA and unit values of agricultural products

The compilation of the Economic Accounts for Agriculture is the main responsibility of the Sectoral Statistics Department at Hungarian Central Statistical Office in close co-operation with the Research Institute of Agricultural Economics of the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Accounts Department of Hungarian Central Statistical Office.

6.1.2. Responsible institution for compilation of Agricultural Income Index

Sectoral Statistics Department at Hungarian Central Statistical Office is responsible for the compilation of the Agricultural Income Index in close co-operation with the Research Institute of Agricultural Economics of the Ministry of Agriculture.

6.2. Institutional Mandate - data sharing

Hungarian Central Statistical Office and Research Institute of Agricultural Economics of the Ministry of Agriculture are responsible for data sharing.

See sub-categories below.

7.1. Confidentiality - policy

The protection of personal data and the publicity of data of public interest are regulated by the following Acts in Hungary:

- Act CLV of 2016 on Official statistics,

- Act CXII of 2011 on the Right of Informational Self-Determination and on Freedom of Information.

Besides the above mentioned legal acts, internal regulations on confidentiality exist within the HCSO. On the top of the regulations concerning data protection stands the Confidentiality Policy of the HCSO, which contains the most important principles regarding statistical confidentiality. The HCSO Regulation on Data Protection sets forth more detailed rules and as a framework regulation is complemented by several other internal regulations. The access to statistical data is regulated in a separate internal regulation (Regulation 18/2014 on the rules of data access) which contains the rules on the six data access channels of the HCSO.

In virtue of the Act CXII of 2011 on Informational Self-Determination and on Freedom of Information and the Act XLVI CLV of 2016 on Official statistics all individual data are qualified as confidential and are treated as such. Survey data are validated and checked exclusively by the staff of HCSO and enumerators are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to the completed questionnaires.

HCSO Regulation on Data Protection: http://www.ksh.hu/docs/szolgaltatasok/adatigenyles/hcso_regulation_on_data_protection.pdf

7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment

In general, all data disseminated by HCSO goes through obligatory statistical disclosure control (SDC) procedures. The most commonly SDC method used for protecting sensitive cells is the cell suppression. Under the HCSO internal data protection regulation, all datasets are checked for secondary cell suppression where primary cell suppression is applied. Direct identifiers are removed from all datasets (except in cases regulated by law).
All research outputs produced in the safe environment (Safe Centre, remote access, remote execution) also go through obligatory output checking procedures.

11.2. Quality management - assessment

Accuracy, clarity, and comparability and coherence must be taken into account in respect of dissemination.

Accuracy is measured by a number of indicators; these are published by statistical domains under the menu item metainformation on the website. Such indicators are the response rate, the rate and method of replacement and the sampling error.

Information on comparability and coherence (length of time series, international comparability, consistency between different statistical domains), which helps the orientation of users, is also published under the menu item metainformation on the website.

It is worth informing the users separately if the data are not considered final. Not final data are the so-called preliminary data. Preliminary data are published in all of our first releases and in many other publications, to which we draw the attention of our users. The metainformation menu item on the website provides information on how much the quality of preliminary data differs from that of final data.

See sub-categories below.

12.1. Relevance - User Needs

National Accounts

Ministry of Agriculture

Research Institute of Agricultural Economics of the Ministry of Agriculture

universities - for scientific purposes

12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction

The user opinions available from different surveys and the spontaneous incoming remarks are collected and systematized by HCSO and they are integrated in the course of the development of our products and services.

HCSO endeavours to ascertain user opinions in different subjects. These are as follows: data, statistical domains; publications; website and related services; other services; other topics, for example the image of HCSO, statistical literacy or the trust in the Office.

We distinguish cases when users’ remarks are available in a structured way, i.e. as a result of user forums, phone or personal (interview or focus-group-based) surveys and those when we obtain them in some other way (spontaneous feedback to an expert at an event where the experts of HCSO take part or through official channels such as the ‘Contact us’ menu on our website). Other methods are the user forums, the focus-groups and the in-depth interviews.

In addition to direct interviews, other methods are also used to get to know the demands of our users. We analyse regularly the clicks and downloads of users visiting our website in order to publish information in a structure adapting to the logic of our users as far as possible and we examine the data domains and publications on the basis of the need for them.

12.3. Completeness

All statistics needed are available.

See sub-categories below.

13.1. Accuracy - overall

Not applicable to EAA compilation.

13.2. Sampling error

Not applicable to EAA compilation.

13.3. Non-sampling error

Not applicable to EAA compilation.

See sub-categories below.

14.1. Timeliness

The results of the first estimation are available one month before the end of the reference year.

The results of the second estimation are available one month after the end of the reference year.

Final data is available 10 months after the end of the reference year.

14.2. Punctuality

Results were released on the target date according to Release Calendar.

Data were transmitted to Eurostat according to the deadlines.

See sub-categories below.

15.1. Comparability - geographical

The Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA) are based on Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 December 2003 on the Economic Accounts for Agriculture in the Community. Compliance with this EU regulation guarantees the comparability of Hungarian figures with the data of other EU Member States. There are no differences between national EAA and data transmitted to Eurostat.

The comparability of data in the regional EAA is ensured.

15.2. Comparability - over time

The time series of the EAA go back to 1998. All data are comparable to each other in the time series (1998-2020).

15.3. Coherence - cross domain

Data have been compared with the statistcs below:

Crop production
Livestock and animal products
Agricultural producer and input prices

EAA data are coherent with data of agricultural production statistics and agricultural price statistics.

EAA figures can be also compared with FADN data.

15.3.1. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics

Not applicable.

15.3.2. Coherence - National Accounts

Due to the different sector definition EAA data are not directly comparable with National Accounts data. The System of National Accounts provides data on the activities of organisations belongings to the NACE category of agriculture, disregarding if those were agricultural activities. The EAA take into account the total agricultural production and services, broken down by agricultural activities, irrespective of the NACE category of the organisations or individuals that perform these activities. Therefore they contain the agricultural production figures of enterprises not classified under agriculture based on the higher value added in other areas by their main activity.

15.4. Coherence - internal

Each set of outputs are internally consistent in the EAA.

Due to online surveys, increased use of administrative data and further automation the costs associated with the data collection and production were reduced.

There is less burden on respondents due to more user-friendly questionnaires, increased use of administrative data, easier data transmission.

See sub-categories below.

17.1. Data revision - policy

According to the EU regulation, final Economic Accounts for Agriculture are compiled annually by 30 September following the reference year.

1. Scheduled revisions:

1.1 Routine revisions: Data revisions are made annually at the time of the finalisation of the annual Economic Accounts for Agriculture.

1.2 Major revisions: there have never been major revisions in this statistical domain.

2. Non-scheduled revisions: Data revisions not announced in advance occur only in exceptional cases, namely if any unforeseeable event (data error, technical problem, etc.) makes necessary the revision of data.

17.2. Data revision - practice

Routine data revisions are made annually at the time of the finalisation of the annual Economic Accounts for Agriculture.

17.2.1. Years where retropolations are carried out and (if they are not yet available) when they will be available

EAA compilation has started in 2010. Retropolations have been made for all previous years back to 1998.

17.2.2. Details of retropolation method used : items for which estimations are made and assumptions on which these estimations are based
