FADN to FSDN conversion
15/09/2023
On September 15, 2023, we participated in the final conference for the Pilot Project: Conversion of FADN to FSDN (Farm Sustainability Data Network), which was organized in cooperation with the European Commission. The key topics, that should enrich the current FADN, were presented. The inclusion of new indicators will subsequently be discussed and decided by the FADN Committee at the EC, in which all member states are represented. The possibility of using a unified ID and information system in the European Union was also assessed and concluded with a low level of feasibility. The greatest emphasis is placed on ensuring the motivation of agricultural enterprises to participate in the survey. (inserted 15/09/2023)

New data on the economy of agricultural holdings in the EU
26/06/2023
The latest data on the economy of agricultural businesses in the EU are available on the European Commission's Agri-food data portal. Preliminary data from EU countries from the 2021 FADN survey have been published in the section Farm Economics.
Interactive database on the data portal allows to examine standard FADN results on several economic areas (such as production, costs, subsidies, income, assets). Average data per enterprise are processed for each year, according to the Member State, the production focus of the enterprise and the class of economic size.
Over the last decade, the average net value added of an agricultural holding in the EU has seen an increasing trend, reaching an average value of €48,600 per farm and €29,100 per AWU (Annual Work Unit) in 2021. All production orientations saw an increase compared to 2020 (13.6% on average) with the exception of pigs and poultry. However, pig and poultry farms remain the most profitable sector in the EU, with €43,400 of net value added per AWU.
