Agriculture Statistical Yearbook of Ireland 2014

Introduction - Agriculture Accounts

Open in Excel:

Output, Input & Income in Agriculture provides estimates of major items of agricultural accounts, such as livestock, livestock products and crops output, expenditure on feeding stuffs, fertilizers and other items of intermediate consumption, gross and net value added and operating surplus in a calendar year. The estimates are based on the data from a combination of sources including administrative data, industry sources and several surveys conducted by CSO and Teagasc.

The Regional Accounts for Agriculture provide estimates of major accounting items in each of the NUTS 2 regions of Ireland, Border, Midland & West and Southern & Eastern. The results for each region are derived from the State total by using a specific allocator for each output or intermediate consumption item, e.g. livestock numbers for cattle and sheep, number of dairy cows for milk etc.
