Reference metadata describe statistical concepts and methodologies used for the collection and generation of data. They provide information on data quality and, since they are strongly content-oriented, assist users in interpreting the data. Reference metadata, unlike structural metadata, can be decoupled from the data.

3.1. Data description
The Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA) provide an overview of the agricultural activities in a systematic and comparable way to serve as basis for analyses, forecasts and political measures. The methodology is laid down in Annex I of the Regulation (EC) 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The EAA methodological manual provides further details and clarifications (LINK).
3.2. Classification system
The EAA are a satellite account of the European System of Accounts (ESA), therefore EAA constitute 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 that are detailed in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
3.3. Coverage - sector
The sector covers all units involved in agricultural production, even if some of those units have other more important economic activities even if the purpose of these activities is not commercial. However, kitchen gardens (producing for own-consumption only) are not included. The list of agricultural activities covered by EAA corresponds to the seven groups of Division 01 of NACE Rev 2 activities (01.1 to 01.7), with the following caveats/differences:
inclusion of the production of wine and olive oil (exclusively using grapes and olives grown by the same holding),
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
The EAA are a satellite account of the 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 accounts:
the production account (its balancing item: value added)
the generation-of-income account (its balancing item: operating surplus).
Nevertheless EAA contains other accounts (of the ESA) at least partly:
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 of the agricultural sector: these include output, intermediate consumption, gross and net value added, gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), both at current prices and at reference year 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 at current prices. (see for more details points 1.40-1.48 in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 138/2004.)
Three income indicators are defined in the EAA:
Index of the real income of factors in agriculture per annual work unit (indicator A).
Index of real net agricultural entrepreneurial income per unpaid annual work unit (indicator B).
Net entrepreneurial income of agriculture (indicator C).
See for more details chapter 5 in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 138/2004.
3.4.1. Components of the Production account : Output
Agricultural output is the total of the agricultural products and the goods and services produced in inseparable non-agricultural secondary activities 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, i.e. when produced and not when paid by the purchaser. In the compilation of the EAA, output is progressively broken down in quantity terms (see point 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.
The components of output in the production account are detailed in ANNEX II of the Regulation (EC) 138/2004. The other categories are wider, defined by the countries according to their special characteristics. The table below covers the list of products included under ‘other’ categories.
List of 'Other products'

Items
Other animal products other than milk
eggs; goat milk
Other inseparable non-agricultural secondary activities (goods and services) Other than Processing of agricultural products
other non-agricultural activities as specified in FADN data (see numerical example)
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, the consumption of which 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 excludes 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.
The components of intermediate consumption in the production account are detailed in ANNEX II of the Regulation (EC) 138/2004. The other categories are wider, defined by the countries according to their special characteristics. The table below only covers the list of products included under ‘other’ categories.
List of 'Other products'
Items
Energy; lubricants other than electricity, gas, other fuels and propellants
fuel for heating
Other goods and services other than listed under 2.108 in the Reg.
All other IC positions as described in the numerical example
3.4.3. Components of the Generation of income account
In the generation of income account, the distributive transactions relate to other taxes on production, other subsidies on production and the compensation of employees.
The components of the generation of income account are detailed in ANNEX II of the Regulation (EC) 138/2004.
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).
The components of the entrepreneurial income account are detailed in ANNEX II of the Regulation (EC) 138/2004.
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.
The elements of the capital account are detailed in ANNEX II of the Regulation (EC) 138/2004.
3.5. Statistical unit
The statistical unit is the local kind of activity unit.
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, institutional units are broken-down into smaller and more homogeneous units with regard to the kind of production (local kind-of-activity units/local KAUs) (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 is 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 is the local KAU most appropriate to the agricultural industry. However, 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 and the information required according to the explanations above is available. The adoption of the agricultural holding as the local KAU of the agricultural industry in the national accounts (NA) and EAA is based on a statistical approach.
The speciality and the aim of EAA is to cover all agricultural activity carried out by an agricultural holding or any other local KAU not having agriculture as its main activity.
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 are only included if they cannot be separated from its agricultural activities.
3.6. Statistical population
The agricultural industry includes all local KAUs at local level which perform the economic activities, as principal or secondary activity corresponds to Division 01 in NACE Rev. 2 (cf. 1.60 to 1.66 of EAA Reg.)
3.7. Reference area
The entire territory of the country.
3.8. Coverage - Time
EAA time series are available from 1998 onwards
3.9. Base period
Accounts for year n are calculated of the base period is year n-1. Data are derived by chain linking at prices of year 2020 (and at any other reference year prices). Time frame for update is used only for price indices - every 5 years (at year n+3).
EAA data at current prices and at prices for the preceding year are given in millions of units of national currency.
Agricultural labour input data are given in thousand annual work units (AWU).

Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics (recital 24 and Article 20(4)) of 11 March 2009 (OJ L 87, p. 164), stipulates the need to establish common principles and guidelines ensuring the confidentiality of data used for the production of European statistics and the access to those confidential data with due account for technical developments and the requirements of users in a democratic society. The European Statistics Code of Practice provides conditions that have to be respected by statistical offices in regard to statistical confidentiality (Principle 5).
At national level, when compiling the EAA, only aggregated data is used, so there is no need for specific confidentiality regulation.

10.6.2. Further methodological guidelines available at national level
National reference metadata are in is in the coordination stage. It is expected to publish in National statistics website soon.
10.7. Quality management - documentation
There are no specific documents at the national level.
11.1. Quality assurance
The quality management system for the EAA works on intra-unit basis and also in co-operation with Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia as a supervisor for all official statistics, used in the organisation. It based on activities such as the use of best practices, quality reviews, self-assessments, compliance monitoring. We are doing self-assessment for compliance with the European Statistics Code of Practice and is checked by the Statistical Office.
11.2. Quality management - assessment
Public reports at national level are not available at present.
12.1. Relevance - User Needs
If certain user needs are not met, please specify which and why
In general, user needs are met. Especially, regarding of quality and completeness of final data. Sometimes were not met needs for timeliness because of small capacity due to lack of finance (only 0,2 FTE). Also sometimes are significant differences between estimations and final data. It is because of lack or plausible data sources for estimations.
Please specify any plans to satisfy needs more completely in the future
We are asking Ministry of Agriculture of Latvia for additional financing for more time limit to observe deadlines. But still, last 15 years it was not raised. Still there are efforts done to improve the planning process for better observing of deadlines.
Additional comments
As regards information or data sources for EAA estimations, it is institutional process. In practice, this is outside of impact of EAA compilers. in last 10-15 years there was a strong tendency in Latvia to reduce administrative burden for enterprises regarding of statistical data; by this reason the amount of statistical data collected from agricultural farms was dropped significantly.
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction
No user satisfaction survey has been conducted.
12.3. Completeness
We are not providing some specific characteristics on intermediate consumption, which are more detailed that our data collecting and calculation system. Also there are not included some negligible output items, for which no data are available. During of Project 2021-LV, we supplemented the range of data with a detailed breakdown of the FCC by positions.
12.3.1. Data completeness - rate
The quality indicator for data completeness shows the following for the reference year 2023 in the detailed EAA: 1.000
[The indicator shows the ratio of data provided per data required, excluding derogations]
13.1. Accuracy - overall
To describe accuracy, the country uses the quality and performance indicator called ‘data revision – average absolute size’ under point 17.2.1 of this document.

15.3. Coherence - cross domain
In national level, there are only partial comparison possible (for example, several sources for output, prices or other statistics), but no direct comparison between EAA data and any other source. For datasets where comparisons are done, in general they are comparable although some deviations are taking place. For example, CSB and FADN data differs because of restricted FADN sample size.
15.3.1. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics
This point is not applicable, since EAA are annual statistics.
15.3.2. Coherence - National Accounts
Using of EAA data in National Accounts is prerogative of Dept of Macroeconomics of Latvian Statistics. EAA data are provided according to EAA Manual.
15.4. Coherence - internal
Any efforts are made to reach internal coherence.
Efficiency gains compared to the previous quality report were achieved through increased use of administrative data. Burden reduction measures since the previous quality report include less frequent surveys.
17.1. Data revision - policy
Revision policy aimed at ensuring the transparency of disseminated data. Chapter 8 of the EAA manual provides guidelines for a harmonised revision policy for EAA, including the ALI data.
17.2. Data revision - practice
Data revision - average size: Usually it applies to year n-2. For example, in 2026 is possible to do revisions for 2024.
Were data revisions due to conceptual changes (e.g. new definitions) carried out since the last quality report? Yes. In frame of Project 2021-LV certain changes are done.
What was the main reason for the revisions? Including of new data sources, e.g. for FCC and FISIM. These are described in the Project Final report.
How do you evaluate the impact of the revisions? Important
17.2.1. Data revision - average size
Average of absolute revision is the average of absolute revisions for the years referring between the current quality (2023) and the 5-years' earlier.

Data validation measures include both manual and automatic checks, targeting data completeness, outliers, and internal consistency.
18.5. Data compilation
The data compilation process does not usually involve specific weights. However, for some aggregated positions (e.g. other cereals), production volumes are used as weights when calculating average prices.
18.5.1. Imputation - rate
Not applicable.
18.5.2. Calculation procedures
Please see the Calculation procedure for 1st estimates, 2nd estimates and full set of EAA in Annex 2 Methods for valuing EAA items.
Estimations are prepared for 1st and 2nd estimations where shown in the Annex 1.
They are prepared based on available data (e.g.for 9 months) or, if only yearly data are available, based on the tendency in recent years, public information from professional bodies etc.
18.5.3.1. Components of the Production account : Output
1nd and 2nd estimations:
For crop items where official forecasts are not available - based on tendency of recent years and / or information about areas
For animal production (only 1st estimation): based on data for 9 months.
For some specific animal products where quarterly data are not available (horses, other animals, other animal products) - based on tendency of recent years.
Agricultural services and secondary activities: based on available data for 9 months (processing of livestock items) and price indices.
18.5.3.2. Components of the Production account : Intermediate consumption
1st and 2nd estimations:
Based on input price indices and volume changes in production account.
18.5.3.3. Components of the Generation of income account
For 1st and 2nd estimations:
Compensation of employees - based on LFS data on ALI and labour statistics data on average wages in agriculture.
Other taxes on production - based on tendencies at recent years
Other subsidies on production - available IACS data are used + predicted amounts to pay.
18.5.3.4. Components of the Entrepreneurial income account
1st and 2nd estimations:
Interest - based on publications of Central Bank about interest rates.
Rent and other charges to be paid - based on tendencies in recent years.
18.5.3.5. Elements of the Capital account
1st and 2nd estimations:
Consumption of Fixed capital estimated based on expected new investments and price index for capital goods.
Besides that, data from National Accounts for fixed capital consumption are available only for year n-2, so data for year n-1 are estimations also.
There are no specific calculations because input data are shown without VAT.
18.5.6. Calculation of compensation of VAT
For farmers which are not under VAT-scheme, VAT-compensation of 14% value of purchased products. This only applies to a small part of farmers (small farms) and is calculated based on historical values. The estimated value for 2023 is 5,5 mln euro and this is included in position "other subsidies on production".
18.6. Adjustment
There are only few adjustments for output.
Adjustments for input items are due to the differences in the output values of EAA and FADN, as described below.
18.6.1. Seasonal adjustment
Not applicable.
18.6.2. Components of the Production account : Output
Other industrial crops: others - where official statistics do not give production volume, we assume yield as cumin yield.
Since 2020 we have not FADN data about green fodder (due to changes in accounting), so we use amount of previous years with adjustment according to number of grazing animals if necessary.
18.6.3. Components of the Production account : Intermediate consumption
The consumption data are obtained from the FADN aggregated standardized results, which are adjusted by a coefficient taking into account the difference between the value of EAA production and the value obtained by aggregating the FADN data. This difference arises from the FADN sampling bias.
18.6.4. Components of the Generation of income account
Compensation of employees + other taxed on production: adjustments are the same that for IC.
Other subsidies on production: information are given straight from administrative sources, but adjustments are done when not all scheduled payments have been made (mainly for estimations). The planned payment amount is taken into account.
18.6.5. Components of the Entrepreneurial income account
Interest (paid and received) - adjustments are the same that for IC.
18.6.6. Elements of the Capital account
GFCF - adjustments as described for the IC (also included in the numerical example).
The Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA) provide an overview of the agricultural activities in a systematic and comparable way to serve as basis for analyses, forecasts and political measures. The methodology is laid down in Annex I of the Regulation (EC) 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The EAA methodological manual provides further details and clarifications (LINK).

The EAA provide a wide range of indicators on the economic activities of the agricultural sector: these include output, intermediate consumption, gross and net value added, gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), both at current prices and at reference year 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 at current prices. (see for more details points 1.40-1.48 in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 138/2004.)
Three income indicators are defined in the EAA:
Index of the real income of factors in agriculture per annual work unit (indicator A).
Index of real net agricultural entrepreneurial income per unpaid annual work unit (indicator B).
Net entrepreneurial income of agriculture (indicator C).
See for more details chapter 5 in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 138/2004.
The statistical unit is the local kind of activity unit.
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, institutional units are broken-down into smaller and more homogeneous units with regard to the kind of production (local kind-of-activity units/local KAUs) (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 is 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 is the local KAU most appropriate to the agricultural industry. However, 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 and the information required according to the explanations above is available. The adoption of the agricultural holding as the local KAU of the agricultural industry in the national accounts (NA) and EAA is based on a statistical approach.
The speciality and the aim of EAA is to cover all agricultural activity carried out by an agricultural holding or any other local KAU not having agriculture as its main activity.
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 are only included if they cannot be separated from its agricultural activities.
The agricultural industry includes all local KAUs at local level which perform the economic activities, as principal or secondary activity corresponds to Division 01 in NACE Rev. 2 (cf. 1.60 to 1.66 of EAA Reg.)
The entire territory of the country.
2023 calendar year.
To describe accuracy, the country uses the quality and performance indicator called ‘data revision – average absolute size’ under point 17.2.1 of this document.
5 years average (2019-2023) indicator is 7.49.
EAA data at current prices and at prices for the preceding year are given in millions of units of national currency.
Agricultural labour input data are given in thousand annual work units (AWU).
The data compilation process does not usually involve specific weights. However, for some aggregated positions (e.g. other cereals), production volumes are used as weights when calculating average prices.
