Statistical concepts and definitions

Labour Costs: Total value of labour input, both paid and unpaid.

Labour Input: Used working hours per production unit.

Contribution Margin I: Production value minus Costs I.

Contribution Margin II: Production value minus Costs I and Costs II.

Land Cost: Calculated as an opportunity cost equal the rent for tenancy for an average hectare. The land cost is calculated without land tax and the right to obtain single payment and without payment for buildings.

Rate of Return to Land: Production value minus Total Costs. The key figure for crop production. Rate of return to land is the profit to land when all production factors are paid for.

Labour Income: Total profit plus Labour Costs. For crop production defined as Rate of return to land minus Land costs + Labour costs.

Labour Income per Hour: Calculated per working hour for a given activity.

Total Profit: Production value minus Total costs. The key figure for husbandry. Total profit is the result after all production factors have been paid for.

Costs I: Variable costs.

Total Costs: Total costs: Costs I + Costs II + Costs III.

Costs II: Partly variable costs.

Costs III: Fixed costs.

Production Value: The total production value, incl. in-holding consumed products and by-products such as straw and manure.

Annual animal units: One animal unit is equal to 365 fodder days.

Statistical unit

The statistical unit agricultural farms.

Data on crops are published per hectare, per square meter for greenhouses. For activities with livestock the unit is per animal, except for piglets, pigs for slaughter and egg-laying hens where the unit are 100 animals and chickens for slaughter where the unit is 1.000 chickens produced.

Statistical population

Agricultural holdings with at least 1,665 hours work yearly. Thus the statistics covers full-time farms which are expected to have farming as their main occupation.

Reference area

Denmark.

Time coverage

2021-

Base period

Not relevant for this statistic.

Unit of measure

Account items in DKK per hectare or unit of animals. Furthermore area in hectares and yield in hectokilo or kg.

Reference period

Accounts statistics for agriculture are based on calendar accounts.

Frequency of dissemination

Published once a year.

Legal acts and other agreements

The collection of data is based on the owner's acceptance that the farm financial information may be obtained from the accounting office / auditor. The statistics are not regulated by the EU.
