Basic price — the price obtained by the producer corresponds to the producer price (not including invoiced VAT). The basic price can be obtained from the producer price by adding subsidies less taxes (other than VAT) on products.
Entrepreneurial income — operating surplus/mixed income less rents paid and interest paid plus interest received.
Factor income — net value added less other production charge plus other subsidies on production.
Fixed capital consumption — the foreseeable wear and tear and obsolescence of fixed capital goods over the accounting period represent a charge which is implicit so long as the item is not replaced by a new acquisition. The consumption of fixed capital is not calculated for either stocks or work in progress, or non-produced assets such as land, underground deposits and patented assets or animals giving agricultural production.
Gross value added — the output of agricultural industry less total intermediate consumption.
Intermediate consumption —the value of all goods and services used as inputs in the production process, excluding fixed assets whose consumption is recorded as fixed capital consumption.
Net value added — gross value added less fixed capital consumption.
Operating surplus/mixed income — factor income less compensation of employees.
Output of agricultural industry —the sum of the agricultural goods and services produced by agricultural units and inseparable non-agricultural goods and services produced by agricultural units.
Output — sales, processing by producers, own final consumption, used for payments in kind, own-account produced fixed capital goods, change in stocks and intra-unit consumed products. Within the industry non-marketable intra-unit consumed products (such as animal feeding stuffs produced in crop production) are included in agricultural output.
Producer price — receivable by the producers from the purchaser for unit of a good or service produced as output.
