The key goal of this research was to calculate the standard output (SO) at the level of agricultural holdings, based on production parameters available in the administrative resources and databases of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food (MAFF) and to evaluate the possibility to use this indicator for the policy purposes. Research results should enable regular updating of the SO calculations as well as the attribution of this indicator to the existing MAFF databases, thus increasing the analytical value of the databases of agricultural holdings. Report first presents the methodology of calculating the SO and derived indicators; selection of the data from administrative resources, harmonization of the list of products and calculation of the SO coefficients, algorithm of calculation of total SO and derived indicators based on the administrative databases. More than 90,000 agricultural holdings (KMG-MID) are included in the calculation of the SO and derived indicators for the years 2012-2014. The research results show that it is possible to calculate the SO at the level of agricultural holdings based on the data from administrative sources (MAFF), and further that these results have great analytical potential, particularly in the light of agricultural policy needs. Research also points to different quality dimensions of administrative databases and the need for more effective co-ordination among them. One of the recommendations for the MAFF is to continue the activities for the establishment of the system of regular yearly calculation of SO and to include the SO into administrative databases on agricultural holdings.
F.23 Development of new system-wide, normative and programme solutions, and methods
COBISS.SI-ID: 5085800This publication presents the results and findings, obtained until December 2015 in the framework of the DS2 work package of the project “Development of holistic model of agricultural holdings and related databases for decision making in Slovenian agriculture” (V4-1423). The key aim of the DS2 work package “Quality analysis of the FADN results for Slovenia« was to carry out an in-depth quality analysis of FADN results for Slovenia and to give recommendations on how to improve quality of these data. The applied approach comprised the analysis by selected key data quality components as recommended in the European guidelines for preparing quality reports related to statistical surveys (European Statistics Code of Practice, 2011; European Union, 2015; Quality Assurance Framework …, 2015). Definition of a specifik data quality component is followed by description of current state of the FADN data for Slovenia, best practice overview and key recommendations to improve the quality of data by this specific component. The data quality is related to the Slovenian FADN network for the period after the year 2011 and to the standard FADN results for Slovenia for the period 2007-2013.
