The purpose is to compile agricultural products supply balance sheets, to produce comprehensive and reliable statistical information on the production and consumption and change in stocks of agricultural products.

3

The FBS are compiled for the following agricultural products:

1. All grain, including leguminous, total 2. Grain processing products 3. Potatoes 4. Vegetables of all kinds 5. Market garden crops 6. All kinds of fruits 7. Grape 8. Sunflower 9. Meat in carcass weight, total 10. Milk and dairy products 11. Eggs

4

The FBS are compiled for calendar year for the country total and by categories of the farms: agricultural companies end enterprises and separate for farmers’ farms and households. FBS is compiled using the old methodology (Soviet time),

Market balance and Farm+ market balance (total) according to the EU recommendations are not compiled.

Agricultural and environment statistics, NBS;

Industrial statistics, NBS;

Trade statistics, NBS;

Household budget statistics, NBS;

6

Data on production of the agricultural products are provided on the basis of agricultural production statistics surveys results. Data on crop area and yield, number of livestock and animal production products are collected from big companies and enterprises and farmers with land area more then 10 hectare of agricultural land area – totally.

From the farms less than 10 hectare of agricultural land area and households are collected using sample survey. Further the results of the survey are recalculated for the general population of farms and for households.

7

The data on stocks and losses are calculated for the agricultural produces on the basis of the survey of the agricultural companies and enterprises and big farmers’ farm. These farms provide data on balance by agricultural products.

Further the results of the survey are recalculated for the general population of entities and for households.

Retail trade level and household level are not included in the stocks and losses.

8

Foreign trade data (Import, Export) for the calculation National FBS are not used.

In Moldova: It is calculated subtracting production quantity used for seed, fodder, losses, and changes in stocks from balance income sheets.

EUROSTAT definition for human consumption: It is calculated subtracting production

quantity used for seed, fodder, export, losses, industrial uses and changes in stocks from balance income sheets.

Improvements of the methods of the calculation FBS and quality of data calculation in the future according to the existing EU standards and FAO methodology is needed

14

According to the EU recommendations all product balances are subdivided into two sub-balances: Farm balance: includes only trade and uses on theoretical national

farm. Under this “national farm” concept the whole agriculture of a country is regarded as one big farm. This means that flows between farmers are not accounted for in the balance sheets;

Market balance: includes all trade and uses on the market (off the

national farm); Farm and market balance (total balances): obtained by adding

together the farm and market balances;

15

According to the EU recommendations the additional data collection for the compilation of the FBS is needed.

Include in the questionnaires additional indicators for processing enterprises such as: ◦ data on stocks and losses on primary and

processed commodities; ◦ technical coefficient for livestock for evaluation

data such as live weight and carcass weight for meat production ; ◦ industrial uses data (products quantities used to

produce others products such as alcohol, beer and ethanol, etc);

16

For the FBS calculation to use Combined Nomenclature (CN) of products and coefficient for recalculation processing products to raw products weight according to FAO and Eurostat methodology

17

The improvement of the NBS website. The national food balance sheet should be incorporated;

The availability of the national food composition table in the Publications;

The publication should provide an concise definition of the indicators and methods used to produce FBS.

Study tour to other country to study the agricultural statistical system and methods of the calculation FBS would be useful;
