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:
Volume of effective
component = physical quantity x effective component of certain chemical
fertilizer (%)
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.
