Agricultural holdings - agricultural holdings by economic size classes

Data obtained from the cyclic Research Farm Structures. The economic size of a holding represents the total standard output expressed in euro. The output of a given type of agricultural activity represents the gross value of agricultural output per 1 hectare of crop or per 1 animal. This value is calculated by multiplying the output per ha or per animal by the price applicable in the agricultural holding area, excluding VAT, taxes on products and direct subsidies. Standard output (SO) represents the output value reflecting the average status in a given region. It is calculated as the average five-year output value achieved from specific agricultural (crop or animal) activity. The total standard output of a holding (Polish acronym: GSP) is the sum of values obtained for each agricultural activity conducted in the holding, through multiplying the SO coefficients for a given type of activity by the number of hectares or animals.
