Classification of agricultural holdings by size of utilised agricultural area
The classification distributes agricultural holdings by size of utilised agricultural area. The utilised area comprises both owned and rented agricultural area. Earlier, utilised agricultural area was so to speak the only unit for measuring size of holdings. Due to increased specialisation in agriculture, utilised agricultural area has become less appropriate as measurement unit. E.g., a holding may run specialised livestock farming without operating agricultural area. The classification of agricultural holdings by economic size (SO) distributes agricultural holdings by estimated turnover for all crop and livestock products produced by the holding within one year.
