THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 November 2022 on statistics on agricultural input and output, amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 617/2008 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1165/2008, (EC) No 543/2009 and (EC) No 1185/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 96/16/EC 1, and in particular Articles 5(10) and 9(4) thereof,
Whereas:
- (1) Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 establishes an integrated framework for developing, producing and disseminating European statistics as regards agricultural inputs and outputs.
- (2) It is necessary to specify the data requirements for producing statistics on agricultural inputs and outputs as regards agricultural prices in order to produce comparable data between Member States and to achieve harmonisation.
- (3) Pursuant to Article 5(10) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379, implementing acts defining data sets to be transmitted to the Commission are to specify technical elements of the data to be provided, where appropriate, such as the list of variables, the descriptions of the variables, the observation units, the methodological rules to be applied, and the deadlines for transmitting the data.
- (4) It is necessary to specify the variables for which the regional dimension is required as it is needed only for some variables.
- (5) The reference periods referred to in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 should be further specified.
- (6) In order to obtain reliable and comparable results from all Member States, a common methodological framework for the compilation of agricultural price statistics is required.
- (7) Agricultural price indices are necessary baseline data for the economic accounts for agriculture as specified by Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council 2, and therefore, the observation units should fit in the scope of the latter Regulation.
- (8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee as established by Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council 3,

ANNEX IV
METHODOLOGICAL SPECIFICATIONS
1. Compilation
1.1. Compilation of agricultural price indices (API)
| 1.1.1. | The API are ‘Laspeyres-type indices’. Such an index is a price index that measures the average change in prices from the price for the base period to the price for a later period, using the value shares (weights) from the base period. A ‘Laspeyres-type index’ is defined as: Image omitted; see official source , the price of a product i being denoted by pi, the quantity of this product by qi. The index compares the price of the current period t and the price of the base period (0). | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.1.2. | For compilation of the whole set of indices, only the detailed indices are compiled by referring to the absolute prices p0 and pt. The aggregated indices are compiled from detailed indices or from already-aggregated indices. This aggregation uses directly the divisor from the Laspeyres index formula Image omitted; see official source as a weight for computing an average of these indices. Member States compile the quarterly and annual weighting values for the detailed and aggregated indices. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.1.3. | The weighting value of an aggregated index is the sum of the weighting values of the indices contributing to it. The weighting value of an index for a year is the sum of its weighting values for the four quarters of this year. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.1.4. | Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) with the products and input API as defined in Annex I, considering the provisions under section 3 of this Annex. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.1.5. | The weighting values and prices of the non-required products as defined under points 3.1.2. to 3.1.5. of this Annex shall be recorded together with the weighting values and prices of another product which is at the same hierarchical level in Annex I and contributes to the same aggregate. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.1.6. | In order to reduce possible volatility in the values reported for the base year, each Member State can choose a longer period, provided that: 1) the same period is used for all the agricultural price indices, 2) the indices are produced and published using a common index reference period (base year = 100), and 3) consistency with the Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA) is kept. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.1.7. | The API shall cover goods transactions of the agricultural industry as defined in Article 4. |
1.2. Compilation of the absolute agricultural prices for EU-level needs
| 1.2.1. | Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) with the absolute agricultural prices for EU needs, which cover specific inputs in the fields of energy, fertiliser and feedingstuffs prices as listed in Annex II. The information includes the annual average collected prices for the selected inputs and, every five years, their annual weighting values. |
1.3. Compilation of the statistics on agricultural land prices and rents
| 1.3.1. | Member States must check the quality of the individual information to avoid covering transactions for other uses than agricultural and other non-compliant transactions. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.3.2. | The land prices and rents at NUTS 0 and NUTS 1 are calculated as the averages of the regional (NUTS 2) average prices or rents weighted by the corresponding areas (NUTS 2), for each category of land set out in Annex III. The information on the areas is provided by the latest data from Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 on integrated farm statistics or any other suitable source, preferentially of EU coverage. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.3.3. | The price for a type of land, as listed in Annex III, is not compiled if this type of land covers less than 5 % of the utilised agricultural area. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.3.4. | The breakdown of arable land is not compiled if the irrigable arable land covers less than 15 % of the utilised agricultural area. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.3.5. | Where the price of irrigable arable land is not significantly different from the price of non-irrigable land, the breakdown of irrigable and non-irrigable arable land is not compiled. A price of irrigable arable land more than 50 % higher than the price of non-irrigable arable land is considered as significant. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.3.6. | Where the price of permanent grassland is not significantly different from the price of arable land, the price of permanent grassland is not compiled. A price of arable land more than 50 % higher than the price of permanent grassland is considered as significant. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.3.7. | Where the available transactions do not distinguish the rents broken down between arable land and permanent grassland, or not enough transactions exist to establish representative specific rent prices, the resulting rent prices are not broken down between arable land and permanent grassland. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.3.8. | For the purpose of establishing statistics on agricultural land prices and rents, where less than 10 eligible land transactions are available, the related statistics are considered as of insufficient quality. In such a case, the Member State shall inform the Commission. The eligible transactions are those granted for arable land and permanent grassland and regarding areas without buildings or plantations and intended to be used for agriculture. Transactions granted between persons who are relatives are not eligible. |
2. Comparability
| 2.1.1. | For the indices to be considered comparable, any differences across Member States at all levels of detail shall only reflect differences in price changes or revenue and expenditure patterns. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2.1.2. | Any indices that deviate from the concepts or methods described in section 1.1. of this Annex shall be deemed comparable if they differ systematically by no more than 0.5 percentage points on average over one year from the indices compiled following the concepts and methods described in section 1.1. of this Annex. |
3. Field of observation
| 3.1.1. | Absolute agricultural prices collected by Member States for compilation of API shall be representative at Member State level. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1.2. | Product indices accounting for less than one percent of the total agricultural product weighting value of a Member State and input indices accounting for less than one percent of the total input weighting value of a Member State are not required, unless they fall under the provisions set out in points 3.1.3. or 3.1.4. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1.3. | Annual indices shall be transmitted for products and inputs whose values are parts of the transmission program set out in Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 and are considered statistically significant for the Member State, as provided for by point 2.055 of Annex I of that Regulation. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1.4. | The overall weighting values of the non-required products, as defined in points 3.1.1. and 3.1.2. of this Annex cannot add up to more than five percent of the total weighting values of the products of a Member State or, for the non-required inputs, of the total weighting values of the inputs. If the sum of the weighting values for indices which meet the conditions described in point 3.1.2. of this Annex is higher than five percent, the Member State may choose the products and inputs for which the indices shall be transmitted. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1.5. | The quarterly weighting values related to a product index shall reflect seasonality, where applicable, if its weighting value accounts for more than one percent of the total agricultural product weighting value. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1.6. | Member States can transmit quarterly weighting values of input indices on a voluntary basis. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1.7. | Absolute input prices collected by Member States for EU needs, as required under topic “ii. Absolute input prices”, shall be representative of the purchases of the inputs of agricultural holdings at Member State level. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1.8. | Member States are not required to produce and transmit the absolute prices listed in dataset 1 of Annex II if their purchases account for less than one percent of the total Member State purchases of fertilisers. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1.9. | Member States are not required to produce and transmit the absolute prices listed in dataset 2 of Annex II if their purchases account for less than one percent of the total Member State purchases of feedingstuffs. | |

- (8) ‘agricultural land’ means land that is used by agricultural holdings for agricultural production or that is temporarily out of production.
- (9) ‘agricultural land owner’ means any owner of agricultural land, whether they undertake economic activity or not and if they do, whatever its economic activity is.
- (10) ‘agricultural products prices’ means the prices received by the agricultural producer, excluding deductible VAT and subsidies, including product taxes or levies, in exchange for agricultural products delivered on the producer site;
- (11) ‘agricultural input prices’ means the prices paid by the agricultural producer, excluding reimbursable VAT and product subsidies, including all other product taxes, in exchange for the input delivered on the production site;
- (12) ‘agricultural land price’ means the price paid for taking ownership of agricultural land for agricultural use, excluding deductible VAT, costs of transferring the ownership (lawyer’s fees, registration taxes, real estate taxes and other fees), entitlements related to the land, monetary compensation received by farmers for the sale/acquisition of agricultural area, the value of any building, and inheritance transfers, but including other taxes and levies. Transactions between relatives are excluded;
- (13) ‘agricultural land rent’ means the value agreed by an agricultural holding with a land owner for taking land in rent for agricultural use during one year, including related levies/taxes, and payments in kind (valuated at the current year’s price), and excluding entitlements related to the land, deductible VAT, rentals of buildings or dwellings situated on the land, and any other expenses related to other assets except the agricultural land (current maintenance expenditure on buildings, buildings insurance, depreciation of buildings, rents paid for the professional use of non-residential buildings etc.);
- (14) ‘agricultural price indices’ (API) means the comparable price indices produced by each Member State for both agricultural products and agricultural inputs;
- (15) ‘detailed API’ constitutes the most detailed level of the indices in the API classification;
- (16) ‘aggregated API’ is the result from weighted aggregation of the detailed API;
- (17) ‘early estimate of the API’ means API provided by Member States that are based on provisional or partial information and, if necessary, appropriate modelling, so that they can be provided earlier than otherwise required;
- (18) ‘base year’ is the calendar year for which prices are used to compute the API. The API are Laspeyres-type indices, as described in Annex IV, that compare prices with the base year prices, these latter ones being set to 100 index points.
- (19) ‘weighting values’ are expenditure or revenue values over the base year:
The revenue received by the producer for goods actually sold to customers are used as weights in the agricultural products price indices.
The expenditure incurred by farmers in purchasing the means of production(goods and services as well as investment goods), including crop products from other agricultural units for intermediate consumption are used as weights in the input price indices
- (20) ‘volume’ means the value divided by the price.
- (21) ‘seasonality’ means significant differences in prices and volumes among the four quarters that follow the same pattern every year. Quarterly seasonal prices have unequal contributions to the annual prices.
- (22) ‘annual index’ is the weighted average of the four quarterly indices of this year, as weighted by the quarterly weighting values of the applicable base year.
- (23) ‘absolute agricultural prices for compilation of API’ means data covering:
- (a) market prices of agricultural products and purchase prices of inputs which need to be computed quarterly as indices in accordance with this Regulation; this does not limit the use of other information of sufficient quality for compilation of API;
- (b) characteristics that determine the price of the agricultural products and inputs, such as weight of the transaction, date, packing or other relevant characteristics of the product that impact the price.
- (24) ‘significant change in the production method’ means a change in the data collection or compilation that is estimated to affect the annual or quarterly rate of change of a given index:
- (1) more than 0.5 percentage points for the total agricultural goods API which is computed as the weighted average of all the detailed product API, or
- (2) more than 0.5 percentage points for the input total API which is computed as the weighted average of all the detailed input API.
- (25) ‘purchases values for absolute input prices’ means the expenditure incurred by farmers in purchasing a given input product during a year.
- (26) ‘potassium chloride’ is also known as muriate of potash.
- (27) ‘potassium sulphate’ is also known as sulphate of potash.
- (28) ‘energy’ inputs for which prices are considered are described as:
- — Electricity used for agricultural production, from the supplier to the agricultural producer.
- — Heating gas oil used to heat greenhouses and other agricultural buildings.
- — Residual fuel oil used as fuel in large heating or drying plant, with viscosity of 3 500 Stk
- — Motor spirit used as fuel in motor vehicles, tractors, agricultural vehicles, etc. with petrol engines, generally less than 95 octane, unleaded.
- — Diesel oil used as motor fuel in motor vehicles, tractors and agricultural machines, etc. with diesel engines, with approximately 50-55 CN.
