Explanatory Notes on Main Statistical Indicators
Gross
Output Value of Farming, Forestry, Animal Husbandry and Fishery
refers to the total value of products of farming, forestry, animal
husbandry and fishery, and total value of services rendered to support farming,
forestry, animal husbandry and fishery activities. It reflects the total scale
and results of agricultural production during a given period. A new industrial
classification of economic activities was introduced in 2003. Under the new
classification, value of services to farming, forestry, animal husbandry and
fishery is included in the gross output value of agriculture.
Gross output value of agriculture is
obtained by first multiplying the output of each product or by product by its
price, resulting in the output value of each single item. For a small number of
products, annual output of which is not available or difficult to get due to
the long production (growing) process involved, the output value is estimated
through an indirect approach. The sum of output value of all products of farming,
forestry, animal husbandry and fishery is then equal to the gross output value
of agriculture.
Value-added
of Farming, Forestry, Animal Husbandry and Fishery
refers to the final results of various agricultural production and trade
units in money terms. It is calculated with two approaches. First, production
approach,
value-added of farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery = gross output
value of farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery - intermediate input
of farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery.
Second, distribution approach,
value-added of farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery = depreciation
of fixed assets + Labourers remuneration + net taxes
on production (taxes on production - subsidies of production) + operating -
surplus.
Consumption
of Chemical Fertilizers in Agriculture
refers to the quantity of chemical fertilizers applied in agriculture in
the year, including nitrogenous fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, potash
fertilizer, and compound fertilizer. The consumption of chemical fertilizers is
required in calculation to convert the gross weight into weight containing 100%
effective component (e.g. 100% nitrogen content in nitrogenous fertilizer, 100%
phosphorous pent oxide contents in phosphate fertilizer, 100% potassium oxide
contents in potash fertilizer). Compound fertilizer is converted with its major
component. The formula is:
Total
Power of Agricultural Machinery
refers to total mechanical power of machinery used in farming, forestry,
animal husbandry, and fishery, including ploughing,
irrigation and drainage, harvesting, transport, plant protection, stock
breeding, forestry and fishery and other agricultural machineries. Machinery
employed for non-agricultural purposes, such as the machines used in township
run and village-run industry, construction, non-agricultural transport,
scientific experiments and teaching, are excluded.
Effective
Irrigated Area
refers to areas that are effectively irrigated, i.e. level land which has
water source and complete sets of irrigation facilities to lift and move
adequate water for irrigation purpose under normal conditions. In general,
irrigated area equal to the sum area of paddy fields and irrigated land for
irrigated engineering or complete sets.
Number
of Livestock Slaughtered
refers to the total number of animals for butchering by farming, forestry,
animal husbandry and fishery, including parts of selling to country and markets.
Output
of Meat
refers to output of butchered pork, beef, mutton, horse, mule, donkey,
fowls, and rabbit in the current year, which is the heaviness minus head, hoof,
offal, named nes weight also.
Output
of Aquatic Products
refers to amount of fishing (including artificially cultured, naturally
grown), in respective consumption by peasants themselves or sold. It excludes
aquatic (i.e. fish fry, fish grows, fish bait and transferred fish from
piscine, leave fish) for continuing expanded reproduction aquatic. Various
fresh water plants (i.e. lotus roots, water chestnut) are not included.
Yield
of Fruits in Orchards
refer to total output of fruits harvested
from fruit trees in current year, not only for eating but also for sale, but
not include melon-fruits (for example, watermelon, melon, honey dew melon,
crisp melon, etc.) , vegetables such as lotus root, tomatoes and so on, and
collection of wild fruits. Output of fruits is calculated as fresh fruits.
Dried dates, raisins, persimmon, orange cake, etc. should be unified into fresh
fruits in the calculation.
