Investment in agricultural holdings
7 relevant CEQ, regarding agricultural incomes, reduction of production costs, increased product quality, diversification, environmentally friendly farming and animal welfare
11 criteria 17 indicators (mostly quantitative)
Some of the indicateurs (17)
Gross farm income Output per hectare Output per hour of labour Cost per unit of basic
product sold Number of assisted
holdings introducing alternative activities
Share of turnover from alternative act.
Price ratio of quality improved versus basic products
Gross sales of quality improved products
Nbr of full-time jobs created by alternative activities …etc.
………
Practical difficulties for establishing the indicators : data collection
Unclear definition of key terms (diversification, improved quality of farm products, environmental friendly farming, animal welfare)
Incomplete monitoring Indicators based on accounting - data protection
rules Costly and time consuming data collection at the
level of beneficiaries
Availibility of data at the mid-term review
Basic data (administrative files)
Number of indicators concerned
Available 1
Partially available 3

Gross farm income
Data source (accountancies) Agricultural holding Representative time period Baseline situation
Conclusion
Evaluation input into policy making and management tool for policy implementation ?
CEQ, criteria and indicators should be simplified
Selection of a small number of key indicators
Current research
Does the « gross farm income » form a relevant indicator at EU – level? Detailed analysis of the « gross farm
income » and its relation to investment and financial sustainability of agricultural holdings in the Walloon region.
Analysis of the « gross farm income » in several regions of the EU
