Statistical processing

Source data

These statistics are based on the existing statistics for agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture.

The main source for compiling the agricultural statistics is accounts data for farms, whose accounts are prepared by accounts offices, which are organized within the SEGES advisory service. The data for the statistics are collected electronically from the accounts system Ø90, where additional and necessary information is supplemented by the accounts offices. In addition to this, accounts data for a small number of enterprises are collected from private accounts offices, which report the data electronically on questionnaires. Another source is the Business Registers maintained by Statistics Denmark. The register forms the basis for determining the population. Information from the Danish Agricultural Agency on the population of organic farms and register-based data on paid-out subsidies are used.

The accounts statistics for fishery is based on obtaining data from the accountants by using a standardized electronic questionnaire. The databases from the Danish Fisheries Agency is the basis for the number of units, grouping of the population and stratification, selection and weighting of the holdings. Statistics Denmark receives information on production, production facilities and ownership of each registered vessel when each years production is counted. These data is used as boundaries for the economic units and workplaces. Another source is logbooks. Registers from The Danish Fisheries Agency are used to investigate each accounts connected to a verification of workplaces- and capital outlays and efforts per vessels in cooperation med DTU-Aqua.

The accounts statistics for aquaculture is based on data from accountants. In addition, data from The Danish Fisheries Agency aquaculture register and the municipalities registers of aquaculture and marine are used. Accounts for the statistics on aquaculture are mainly ending in the period June 30th to December 31th of the previous year.
