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 1 000 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 and 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 compare the receipts and the costs in agriculture for the years 2008 and 2009. The results presented for year 2009 are preliminary but are compared to 2008 year's final data. The final data for 2009 will be presented on February 18, 2011.

The tables indicate that the gross margin for crop and dairy production have decreased compared to the previous year. This is mainly a consequence of lower prices on both cereals and milk. The results for cattle production decreased as well while pig production had about the same result as in 2008.
