Supplementary notes

The Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA) provide detailed information on income in the agricultural sector. The purpose is to analyse the production process of the agricultural industry and the primary income generated by this production. The accounts are therefore based on the industry concept.
The sector covers the income of all units involved in agricultural production, even if some of those units have more important economic activities or if the purpose of some others is not commercial. Note, however, that kitchen gardens (producing for own-consumption only) are not included.
