Summary

Background

The Farm Economic Survey (JEU) is an annual book-keeping survey. The aim of the survey is to illustrate the development of receipts and costs in agriculture. As a member state of the EU Sweden is obliged to deliver data to the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). Annually a database containing data on 1000 farms is delivered to DG Agriculture at the EU commission.

The base of the calculations is nominal result in agriculture at current cost. The current cost for an asset is the replacement value reduced by depreciation.

In data management Statistics Sweden (SCB) cooperates with LRF Konsult with local agents all over the country. Data from part of farms is collected and delivered by the Swedish Rural Economy and Agricultural Societies, a consulting firm. The data is subject to intensive control processing both at the national level and at DG Agriculture.

Results

The results shown in the tables are based on Swedish typology and compares the receipts and the costs in agriculture for the years 2007 and 2008. The tables indicate that the gross margin for crop production have decreased. The results in milk production have improved due to higher incomes for animal production. The results for cattle production as well as for pig production have decreased.
