What is the place of agriculture in terms of its contribution to a nation's wealth and share in employment? What is the amount, structure and composition of agricultural production and inputs? What is the remuneration of production factors, what incomes are derived from this activity? The Economic Accounts for Agriculture provide precise answers to these and many other questions for the great majority of OECD countries. They give indispensable insights into the economic viability and quantitative interrelationships in agriculture and, hence, respond to a growing need to have such an internationally comparable information base across OECD countries. This data-set covers the period 1990 to 1996 with longer time-series contained in the electronic version as well as the year 1997 for key variables. It provides a coherent and detailed framework for quantifying agricultural output and its components, intermediate consumption, different value added and income measures, and capital formation.
