3.1. Data description | |||
The data describe the structure of agricultural holdings providing the general characteristics of farms and farmers and information on their land, livestock and labour force. They also describe production methods, rural development measures and agro-environmental aspects that look at the impact of agriculture on the environment. The data are used by public, researchers, farmers and policy-makers to better understand the state of the farming sector and the impact of agriculture on the environment. The data follow up the changes in the agricultural sector and provide a basis for decision-making in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and other European Union policies. The statistical unit is the agricultural holding (farm). The aggregated results are disseminated through statistical tables and analytical publications. The data are presented at different geographical levels and over periods. |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
Data are arranged in tables using many classifications. Please find below information on most classifications. The classifications of variables are available in Annex III of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 and in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1874. The farm typology means a uniform classification of the holdings based on their type of farming and their economic size. Both are determined on the basis of the standard gross margin (SGM) (until 2007) or standard output (SO) (from 2010 onward) which is calculated for each crop and animal. The farm type is determined by the relative contribution of the different productions to the total standard gross margin or the standard output of the holding. The territorial classification uses the NUTS classification to break down the regional data. The regional data is available at NUTS level 3. |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
The statistics cover agricultural holdings undertaking agricultural activities as listed in item 3.5 below and meeting the minimum coverage requirements (thresholds) as listed in item 3.6 below. |
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
The list of core variables is set in Annex III of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091. The descriptions of the core variables as well as the lists and descriptions of the variables for the modules collected in 2019/2020 are set in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1874. The following groups of variables are collected in 2020:
|
|||
3.5. Statistical unit | |||
See sub-category below. |
|||
3.5.1. Definition of agricultural holding | |||
The agricultural holding is a single unit, both technically and economically, that has a single management and that undertakes economic activities in agriculture in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 belonging to groups: - A.01.1: Growing of non-perennial crops - A.01.2: Growing of perennial crops - A.01.3: Plant propagation - A.01.4: Animal production - A.01.5: Mixed farming or - The “maintenance of agricultural land in good agricultural and environmental condition” of group A.01.6 within the economic territory of the Union, either as its primary or secondary activity. Regarding activities of class A.01.49, only the activities “Raising and breeding of semi-domesticated or other live animals” (with the exception of raising of insects) are included. Based on their legal entity the target population has two main groups in Hungary: private holdings and agricultural enterprises.
As threshold criteria refers to productive land area the definition of agricultural holding in Hungary covers:
|
|||
3.6. Statistical population | |||
See sub-categories below. |
|||
3.6.1. Population covered by the core data sent to Eurostat (main frame and if applicable frame extension) | |||
The thresholds of agricultural holdings are available in the annex. According to preliminary calculation which was based on former FSS’ results (where main information on households below the previous threshold were collected, therefore it was considered that as a good reference for the 100% of UAA and LSU), without the additional and lowered thresholds we could have covered about 97,5% of UAA and 96,5% of LSU. Nevertheless, our additional and lowered thresholds (compared to thresholds in the regulation) are higher than our former thresholds which could have provided more than 99% coverage both for UAA and Livestock Unit. Therefore the extended thresholds (compared to thresholds in the regulation) means increased thresholds compared to our former thresholds. Annexes: 3.6.1. Thresholds of agricultural holdings |
|||
3.6.1.1. Raised thresholds compared to Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 | |||
No | |||
3.6.1.2. Lowered and/or additional thresholds compared to Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 | |||
Yes | |||
3.6.2. Population covered by the data sent to Eurostat for the modules “Labour force and other gainful activities”, “Rural development” and “Machinery and equipment” | |||
The same population of agricultural holdings defined in item 3.6.1. The above answer holds for the modules ‘Labour force and other gainful activities’ and ‘Rural development’. The module ‘Machinery and equipment’ is not collected in 2020. |
|||
3.6.3. Population covered by the data sent to Eurostat for the module “Animal housing and manure management” | |||
The same population of agricultural holdings defined in item 3.6.1. |
|||
3.7. Reference area | |||
See sub-categories below. |
|||
3.7.1. Geographical area covered | |||
The entire territory of the country. |
|||
3.7.2. Inclusion of special territories | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
3.7.3. Criteria used to establish the geographical location of the holding | |||
Other | |||
3.7.4. Additional information reference area | |||
The agricultural holding is located where the farm undertakes its main agricultural activity according to its typological classification. In case of crop farms, the most important parcel by economic size based on IACS. In case of animal farms, the main area of animal keeping. In the absence of information on the location of the main activity, the location of residence of the farmer, which is usually close to the agricultural activity. |
|||
3.8. Coverage - Time | |||
The first agricultural census was implemented in Hungary in 1895 and covered all characteristics of agriculture (land, livestock, labour force). The second census of 1935 also was a comprehensive survey and had a speciality, whereas the indebtedness of farms also was observed. The international recommendations (issued by the predecessor of the FAO, the International Agricultural Institute in Rome) have been taken into account during the implementation of this census. In 1972 Hungary joined the FAO World Census of 1970 and fulfilled also the international data requirements. The census of 1981 was also linked with the recommendations of the FAO World Census. In 1991 HCSO conducted the first census after the change of political system in 1989. Following this census in 1994 a farm structure survey was implemented, but this survey had an incomplete coverage and included only a narrow range of characteristics. The main deficiency of this survey was not covering the farmers living in the urban areas. The Agricultural Census 2000 (AC 2000) is a historical milestone in the chronicle of Hungarian censuses. This was the first comprehensive survey that, apart from meeting the data needs of FAO, was also compliant with the relevant EU regulations. Based on the results of AC 2000 the data set for the EUROFARM database were compiled and provided to EUROSTAT. During the negotiations talks Hungary has committed itself to carry out the Farm Structure Survey 2003 (FSS 2003) according to EU relevant regulations. The FSS 2005 was the first survey carried out after the accession of Hungary to the EU. After FSS 2005 and also FSS 2007 the micro-data of agricultural holdings were sent into the EUROFARM database handled by EUROSTAT. The AC 2010 was the seventh of its kind and it was the first one implemented by Hungary as an EU member state. According the Regulations FSSs were carried out in 2013 and 2016 also. AC2020 was also a milestone for the Hungarian Central Statistical Office since a new methodology was introduced, and the use of administrative sources became more focused. |
|||
3.9. Base period | |||
The 2020 data are processed (by Eurostat) with 2017 standard output coefficients (calculated as a 5-year average of the period 2015-2019). For more information, you can consult the definition of the standard output. |

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:
Besides the above mentioned legal acts, internal regulations on confidentiality exist within the HCSO. 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. |

7.2.1.3. Description of rules and methods | |||
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. Apart from these obligatory provisions, the typical SDC methods applied to FSS data are the following:

|||
7.2.2.3. Description of methodology | |||
As regards to access to microdata for scientific purposes, researchers may have access to data through six channels upon filling in the request form published on the HCSO’s website. The six data access channels are: release of tabular data, public use files, release of anonymised microdata sets, Safe Centre, remote access and remote execution. The first 2 channels are open to all users; the last four channels are available exclusively for scientific purposes. Anonymised microdata may be accessed by research institutions within the framework of a contract with the HCSO. Anonymised microdata are microdata which have been modified in order to reduce to an acceptable level, in accordance with current best practice, the disclosure risk of statistical units to which they relate. The researcher may only use the data file for the scientific research purpose indicated in the request form and the data file has to be destroyed upon fulfilment of that purpose. The detailed conditions for the use of anonymised microdata are regulated in the contract between the research institution and the HCSO. Researchers may also have access to microdata in a secure environment such as the HCSO’s Safe Centre, another remote access point and through remote execution. The Farm Structure Surveys data of 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2020 are already accessible for researchers. The HCSO facility in Szeged is providing a remote access service to researchers under the same conditions as for the Safe Centre environment (available on HCSO premises in Budapest). In the form of remote execution, researchers can also apply for research outputs based on microdata sets. Using this access channel, the researchers are requested to send detailed specifications and descriptions, syntax, etc. to HCSO and the data is prepared by HCSO experts within HCSO. Outputs produced are released following an obligatory output checking procedure (common procedure for Safe Centre, remote access and remote execution). Data made available in the Safe Centre, remote access and remote execution does not contain direct identifiers. The access environment is strictly monitored and the research outputs are checked for statistical disclosure before they may be taken from the safe environment by the researcher. The process of the evaluation of the data request for the safe environment data access channels covers checking information both on the research purpose and the researchers. Access is granted based on a contract which stipulates the conditions of access. Researchers can use anonymised micro-data at a specially prepared computer station. Reports with aggregated data generated by user are checked by the mehodological staff of the HCSO, responsible for enforcing statistical confidentiality according to the rules mentioned in item 7.2.1.1. |

It was updated regularly with the most recent information and the number of visitors was almost 60 thousand in year 2020 (most of them, more than 26 thousand in June when the online period was implemented). The publications on the Agricultural Census can be downloaded free of charge from our website and made available to all users at the same time. In the questionnaire of the Census the following question was included: "Would you like to receive information about the results of the Agricultural Census to your email address"? If the answer was yes, e-mail address was given by respondents and the published analyses were sent directly to them. Altogether 35 thousand emails were sent to those who were interested to the results. Together with the detailed analysis, the main conclusions and results were sent directly to the editorial staffs of the printed and online media. The press conference was followed by several radio and TV interviews and a special podcast was also made to the podcast channel of the Statistical Office. |

Quality requirements regarding coverage and standard errors of variables are listed in Regulation 2018/1091. Before launching the project, certain quality criteria were also set: 1. The project is successful if core and module variables listed in Regulation 2018/1091/EK are successfully collected. 2. Agricultural Census 2020 was the first data collection that was carried out completely on register information. The project was considered to be successful if the address list for the full population was available and complete by the beginning of the data collection. And with the help of the address list, the quality criteria within 2018/1091 can be fulfilled. 3. Online data collection phase was considered successful if the respond rate among the farms who got login code was at least 20%. 4. The project was considered successful if Eurofarm database and Quality report was compiled by the deadline declared in Regulation 2018/1092. At the end of the data collection, this criterion was met completely. EUROFARM database was compiled by the deadline. 5. The project was considered successful if budget remained within the allocated limits. |

Module sample was built up as a combination of a census and stratified random sample. Agricultural enterprises and key private holdings (which exceed certain threshold) were fully surveyed. Among smaller private holdings sample survey was carried out. The preliminary size-classification of holdings was based on administrative information and our former surveys’ data. The lower reliability of quantitative information than preliminary estimated of some administrative sources resulted that several large holdings were misclassified as smaller holdings mainly among poultry farms. Therefore, the variability of certain variable in the sample was higher than previously estimated and resulted a higher error than previously estimated. Each holdings size classification was re-examined based on the result of the survey. For future FSS we will increase the size of fully surveyed part of our universe and in parallel, we will work with a larger sample for smaller private holdings. We also provided feedback to the owners of the administrative data, hoping to get more accurate quantitative information in the future. |

New sampling frame was built before the Agricultural Census and was based on several different administrative sources and former FSS surveys. Some of these sources contained information only about existence and did not contain quantitative production information, therefore in many cases there were not sufficient information for preliminary size-classification. Some of these sources also contained outdated information about units which have already ceased farming. Therefore, many units were visited during the survey which did not exceed the farm threshold or did not even exist. Units which do not belong to the target population were not measured (based on the threshold test at the beginning of the questionnaire) or were excluded during processing. |

Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 newly considers agricultural holdings with only fur animals. However even if our country raises fur animals, holdings with only fur animals are not included in our data collection because they do not meet the thresholds. The thresholds for animals are expressed in livestock units (LSU) and fur animals are not associated LSU coefficients. We did not add thresholds related to fur animals; there is no reason for it (fur animals do not contribute towards 98% of the total LSU). |

15.2.5.2. Description of changes | |||
Legal personality of the agricultural holding In IFS, there is a new class (“shared ownership”) for the legal personality of the holding compared to FSS 2016, which trigger fluctuations of holdings in the classes of sole holder holdings and group holdings.
Other livestock n.e.c. In FSS 2016, deer were included in this class, but in IFS they are classified separately. Also in FSS 2016, there was a class for the collection of equidae. That has been dropped and equidae are included in IFS in "other livestock n.e.c."
Livestock units In FSS 2016, turkeys, ducks, geese, ostriches and other poultry were considered each one in a separate class with a coefficient of 0.03 for all the classes except for ostriches (coefficient 0.035). In IFS 2020, the coefficients were adjusted accordingly, with turkeys remaining at 0.03, ostriches remaining at 0.35, ducks adjusted to 0.01, geese adjusted to 0.02 and other poultry fowls n.e.c. adjusted to 0.001.
Organic animals While in FSS only fully compliant (certified converted) animals were included, in IFS both animals under conversion and fully converted are to be included. |

|||
15.2.8. Explanations for major trends of main variables compared to the last data transmission to Eurostat | |||
With regards to the major trends on animal statistics: - they have been recorded an increase of number of male bovine animals <1 year as well as male bovine >=2 years. - Number of cows and other cows is also constantly increasing due to national subsides. - Figures for sheep and goats reveal that the highest numbers were recorded in 2016, since then figures are constantly decreasing. - Number of goose and ducks have decreased as a consequence of the avian flu, while, because less holdings are having rabbits, - the population of rabbits drastically decreased in 2020 compared to 2016 - Sheep (A4100): there was a more than 20 percent decrease in the number of sheep during the last 5 years. - Live goats (A4200): a continuous decrease in the number of goats during the past years has been recorded. |

Livestock: all the data on the number of animals were checked and compared to the data of the December 2019 survey at individual level. In addition, the data on bovine animals were compared to the data of the Unique Identification System of Animals (ENAR) handled by the National Food Chain Office (NFCO). The data on sheep and goats could be compared on the level of availability in the mentioned register (ENAR). Some species were not entered into the questionnaire during the survey in several cases. These were asked and recorded in the questionnaire. Discrepancies also arose at the micro level that the reference dates are not exactly the same. Data on bovine animals are continuously reported to the NFCO, while the data were asked for 1 June 2020 during the AC. Crop production: The data were compared to the administrative data sources (SAPS, organic data, vineyard register) and the previous years' data collections of the HCSO. The outliers were detected and removed. Due to a methodological change (new threshold), the agricultural census data could not be fully compared to the land use data of 2019. |

18.1.6.2. Sampling design | |||
A common sample was used for LAFO and AHMM modules In case of Agricultural enterprises and key private farms (holdings exceeding certain physical threshold – census, no sampling; In case of (Small) private farms (apart from key private farms) – stratified random sampling, where the stratification means geographical stratification (Unit location – NUTS3 level) Farms were selected with simple random sampling within counties. The selection rate was different county by county. |
|||

Agricultural enterprises (units with legal entity) Key-private farms (exceeding certain physical threshold) |
|||
18.1.6.2.5. Method of determination of the overall sample size | |||
The sample size was calculated on the basis of former FSS data. |
|||
18.1.6.2.6. Method of allocation of the overall sample size | |||

18.4. Data validation | |||
See sub-categories below. |
|||
18.4.1. Type of validation checks | |||
Data format checks Completeness checks Range checks Relational checks Comparisons with previous rounds of the data collection |
|||
18.4.2. Staff involved in data validation | |||
Interviewers Supervisors Staff from local departments Staff from central department |
|||
18.4.3. Tools used for data validation | |||
First logical and arithmetical checks within and between the tables were implemented into HCSO's data collection application. (MAJA /Integrated Data Gathering System/ for private farms, ELEKTRA for legal entities) Batch checks (arithmetical and logical) were run within HCSO's ADÉL applications (Uniform Data Entry and Validation System). After data collection, some software tools were used during processing and validation (SQL, R, Excel). |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
Holdings outside the scope (over-coverage) were excluded. Non-response, presumably eligible holdings were imputed. The weights of the module's sample were adjusted after unit-size reclassification. |
