The FADN survey traditionally works with a representative sample of agricultural holdings, which includes farms of various specializations, economic sizes, regions and districts, production areas and types of farming. Since the 2011 financial year, the survey has also included a detailed analysis of organic farming holdings. Last year, we decided to use the data we have collected over such a long period of time and prepared a monograph on organic farming holdings in the Czech Republic in 2014-2023. The main focus is on data on the economics of organic farms in our country, supplemented by information from other scientific, legislative and authoritative sources. The publication is available in both digital and printed form. We hope that you will be interested in reading this professional book and perhaps even enjoy it. Just as we enjoy working with our data.

Economic results of milk producers
07/10/2025
The weekly Zemědělec (No. 41/2025) published the article "Economic results of milk producers" on October 6, 2025, which evaluates the management of agricultural enterprises specializing in milk production in a year-on-year comparison of data from 2022 and 2023. The authors of the article used data from the FADN Czech Republic (Farm Accountancy Data Network). The results show that despite the increase in total production, the economic efficiency of enterprises in 2023 decreased year-on-year, primarily due to an increase in costs and a decrease in operating subsidies. The increasing milk yield of cows helped to partially compensate for the decrease in the sale price of milk. The article provides a detailed analysis of the differences between enterprises of natural and legal persons as well as an overview of the development of subsidies and cost items. You can read the article HERE. (inserted 07.10.2025)
