According to the second estimates of the Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA) submitted to Eurostat by the Member States at the end of January 2013, agricultural income per annual work unit (Indicator A) at the EU-27 level is estimated to have remained stable in 2012 compared with 2011. However, agricultural labour input showed a slight decrease (-0.2%) in EU-27 compared with the previous year.

Main statistical findings

The 2012 stability of agricultural income per annual work unit followed an increase of 8.3% in 2011 and 17.1% in 2010 at the EU-27 level.

This latest development was driven by an increase of 3.6% in agricultural income per work unit in EU-15, which was counterbalanced by a decrease in EU-12, i.e. those Member States which joined the EU in 2004 and 2007, (-11.9%). The decrease in indicator A for EU-12 was linked to the decrease in factor income (-11.3%). Nonetheless, the agricultural labour input showed a small increase of 0.7% in 2012.

On the other hand, the factor income in EU-15 increased by 2.4% in 2012 compared with the previous year. This led to an increase of 3.6% in the agricultural income, which when divided by the agricultural labour input, resulted in a decrease in Indicator A (-1.1%).

For EU-27, an index (2005=100) of Indicator A reached 128.5% in 2012, the same as in 2011. This increase since 2005 is attributable to the positive developments in EU-15 and EU-12, which showed rises of 17.9% and 50.1% respectively, when compared with 2005.

Agricultural income per work unit, Indicator A, in 2012: comparison across countries

Agricultural income per work unit developed differently across the Member States of the EU-27. In 2012, the largest increases were seen in Belgium (+27.9%), Latvia (+21%) and Lithuania (+17.6%). The Netherlands, Germany and Estonia also showed increases of over 14%.

The steepest decreases, on the other hand, were seen in Romania (-27.1%), Poland (-13.7%) and Slovenia (-12.2%). Hungary, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Austria also recorded marked decreases (steeper than -7.5%).

In 2012, almost 83% of total factor income in EU-27 was generated in EU-15, by 50% of the total agricultural labour input (in AWU).

The trends in the two EFTA countries for which data were available, were very different in 2012 compared with 2011. Indicator A rose in Norway (+10.7%) while it decreased in Switzerland (-1.1%).

The data for Croatia, the new EU Member State as of July 2013, revealed a decrease in agricultural income per work unit, Indicator A (-10.8%).
