The Implications for Agricultural Statistics of Changes in the System of National Accounts

Berkeley Hill

Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1998, vol. 49, issue 3, 359-377

Abstract: Recent changes to the internationally‐agreed system of national accounts carry implications for the aggregate production accounts for agriculture in the EU, notably a shift away from using the ‘national farm’ concept. They have also encouraged the development, within the national accounts framework, of accounts for the agricultural households subsector. These changes not only impose new tasks on producers of agricultural statistics but also provide new material which is likely, in some instances, to challenge policy‐makers, economists and other users to revise their thinking about the nature of this industry and the problems that are faced.
