EU BEEF FARMS REPORT - 2012 -

Summary:

This report provides an overview of the production costs, margins and incomes of farms specialising in beef production from 2000 to 2009. In addition, it gives estimations of gross margins for 2010 and 2011. The analysis is based on the latest available data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). Farms are classified into three groups on the basis of the beef production system practised. ‘Breeders’ are farmers with suckler cows not fattening their calves, ‘breeders & fatteners’ fatten the calves born on their farms, and ‘fatteners’ purchase young male animals and then finish fattening them. In 2009, the sample farms of specialist beef producers represented 44 % of the EU-27 cattle population. The results for the EU as a whole are dominated by EU-15 farms that make up between 88.1 % and 92.6 % of the total number of farms in the types of production analysed here. EU-10 farms complement the picture; there are only a few farms from EU-2.

Figure 1: Gross margin per EU group, type of production, 2009

Gross margins for 2009 are generally not high but, apart from EU-10, are positive for breeders and for breeders & fatteners (Figure 1). Coupled payments (CP), which have been relatively stable since 2006, helped improve the situation given that underlying margins (without CP) were low for another year (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Gross Margin, EU-All, type of production, 2006-2011

Gross margins for fatteners are lower than for breeders & fatteners and for breeders expressed in terms of the number of males fattened and sold per year. This is an outcome of the specific nature of this type of beef production where the turnover of animals is much greater than for breeders and for breeders & fatteners, hence the margins

per animal can be lower. However, when various indicators of income per annual work unit are taken into account, fatteners generate the highest incomes (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Income indicators per EU group, type of production, 2009

The EU-10 indicators are lower than those for EU-15 both in terms of margins and incomes, which can be explained in part by the smaller number of cows/cattle per farm, lower prices for beef and lower technical and labour efficiency.

Figure 4: Structural indicators per EU group, type of production, 2009

Figure 4 shows that fattening is a more intensive production type than the other two systems. Fatteners have less agricultural land, have similar labour resources but sell about three times more animals than breeders and breeders & fatteners. Stocking density for fatteners is about twice that of breeders or of breeders & fatteners.

Three graphs in Figure 5 show that in EU-15 countries (which dominate the results for the EU as a whole and for which we have continuity of data), output went up over the period 2000-2008 but income did not necessarily do so. Only for fatteners is income growth roughly in line with output growth. This is a consequence of a general increase in production costs. The remarkable drop in remuneration of family labour seen in 2009 can to a large extent be explained by exceptionally high estimates of capital costs that year.

Figure 5 Income indicators, EU-15, type of production, 2000-2009

During the period under review, the main costs of beef production grew much faster than output; feed costs increased by between 45 % (fatteners) and 74 % (breeders) and animal purchase costs rose between 16 % and 39 %. In the same period output went up by between 6 and 21 % (see Figure 9 on page 8). When considering developments over time, it should be kept in mind that important policy changes were made during this period. The main change was the decoupling of direct payments between 2004 and 2006. Complementary national direct payments were also decoupled in some new Member States in 2007, negatively affecting the level of gross margins, although not necessarily farm incomes.

The analysis is based on data in the EU Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) database. FADN brings together the results of sample surveys held each year and focuses on accountancy data from farms. The data are fairly comprehensive in terms of covering farming activities, but costs of production are recorded only as an aggregate per farm. For the calculation of margins, it was thus necessary to allocate costs to particular products.

Box 1: The Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) FADN1 is a European system of sample surveys held each year to collect structural and accountancy data on farms. The aim is to monitor the income and business activities of agricultural holdings and to evaluate the impacts of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

The FADN surveys only include farms that exceed a minimum economic size (threshold) so as to cover the most relevant part of the agricultural activity of each EU Member State. This threshold is set at 90 % of the standard gross margin and 90 % of the utilised agricultural area covered in the Farm Structure Survey (FSS, Eurostat). For 2007, the sample consisted of over 78 000 holdings in the EU-27, representing 5.4 million farms or 39 % of a total of some 14 million farms included in the FSS.

The survey is intended to provide representative data in three dimensions: by region, economic size and type of farming. FADN is the only harmonised source of micro-economic data, which means that the accounting principles are the same for all EU Member States.

The most recent FADN data available for this report are for the 2009 accounting year; this is because of the time needed to collect, check and correct the data of all EU Member States.

The next edition of this report, using FADN data up to 2010, is scheduled for later this year.

1. INTRODUCTION

The study aims to estimate margins in beef production and provide indicators of the income of farms geared to beef production in EU Member States. Gross, net, and net economic margins are calculated and presented in the tables. The text mainly discusses gross margins. Farm net value added, farm net income and remuneration of family labour are presented as indicators of income. The analysis covers the accounting years from 2000 to 2009. Gross margins have also been estimated for 2010 and 2011. The calculations are based on data collected in the EU FADN database.

Situation in the beef sector in the period under review

During the period under review, European beef producers included in the FADN survey experienced cyclical changes in beef prices. The length of the cycle differed depending on the type of producer, with breeders experiencing the longest cycle and breeders & fatteners the shortest (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Output per animal, EU-15, type of production, 2006-20112

The overall increase in output value per animal3 which can be treated as a proxy for prices4 was moderate — 21 % for fatteners and 6 % for breeders and breeders & fatteners in nominal terms. At the same time, inflation as expressed by the harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) increased by 30.5 % in the EU-27. According to Eurostat, the price of cattle

went up by 35 % but this calculation is based on aggregate prices and not values per animal as reported in FADN. In addition, farm-gate prices are not always equal to prices reported at the point of sale so the latter price may be higher. Nevertheless, particularly from 2007 onwards, the Eurostat index changes broadly reflect the changes seen in the FADN. The occasional differences could be attributed to the fact that the FADN data is based on analysis of a sample of specialised farms only and to differences in the methods of obtaining price data in Eurostat and in FADN.

2 Figure 6 presents data from 2006 because table 'N' (purchases and sales of animals) was not correctly filled

in by some Member States which might have an effect on the estimates of prices. 3 In €/cow for breeders, in €/cattle sold for breeders & fatteners and fatteners. 4 FADN does not provide prices for beef output.

Figure 7: Output per animal and number of animals per farm, 2000-2009

Figure 7 shows an apparent fall in output value per animal in 2006-2009, which was associated with lower farm prices and higher production per farm. For each type of production, the average number of cattle on farms and the average number of cattle sold increased in the period under review.5 The exceptions are fatteners who sold fewer cattle in 2009 than in the previous year and breeders & fatteners in 2006-2007.

In the analysis of beef production, feed and animal purchases are the most significant costs. Figure 8 shows that, on average in EU-15, they make up 49 % of the total costs for breeders, 61 % for breeders & fatteners and 85 % for fatteners but in EU-10 countries it is lower (37 %, 50 %, and 78% respectively). Thus, any changes in these two variables affect fatteners more than breeders and EU-15 beef producers more than those in EU-10 countries. Breeders and, to a lesser extent, breeders & fatteners are more sensitive to changes in feed prices than fatteners, which are the most sensitive to changes in animal prices.

5 This may be an outcome of changes in production structures themselves but may also reflect the fact that

specialist beef producers enter or develop trading activities by serving small beef producers or/and non-specialised producers to market their output.

Figure 8: Feed and animal purchases’ share of total costs, EU-15, type of production, 2000-2011

Feed costs increased much more than inflation and were different depending on the type of production; breeders and breeders & fatteners experienced feed cost increases of up to 74% while fatteners were faced with a 45 % increase. Animal purchase costs rose between 16 % and 39 % (Figure 9). Overall, the input prices of the main cost components went up much faster than output for each group of beef producers.

Box 2: Summary of the method used to estimate costs of production The FADN database contains information about output and subsidies per product, but as far as costs are concerned, it only provides information for the farm as a whole. Hence, the direct contribution of each enterprise to farm income is not available, which means that the production costs by product have to be estimated. The unit in the European Commission working on the FADN has built several models to estimate costs and margins for the different products: arable crops, milk and beef, and permanent crops. These models allocate farm costs to a particular product using different ratios. The Annex gives details of the model used in this analysis to estimate beef production costs and margins.

From 2008, imputed costs for unpaid family factors are estimated (e.g. own capital costs). The aim is to enable a comparison to be made between Member States with different structures in terms of main production factors. The methodology for estimating the opportunity costs of those factors is explained in Annex I — Methodology.

The output, operating costs and gross margins (over operating costs) for 2010 and 2011 are estimated on the basis of beef price, yield and input price indices. Structures and subsidies in beef production are assumed to have remained unchanged. These and the increased volatility of prices observed on beef market in recent years imply that the resulting estimates are approximate. The sources of the indices used are the following: for beef prices—Eurostat and the European Commission Directorate-General for Agriculture (DG AGRI); for inputs— Eurostat databases (agricultural prices and price indices).

2. BREEDERS’ MARGINS AND INCOMES

2008 and 2009 were some of the worst years for breeders and estimates of the margins for 2010 and 2011 are not optimistic. Output went up and overall cost levels increased but what is typical for the 2000 to 2011 period is that costs that are specifically and directly linked to beef production went up less than non-specific costs (by 55 % and 64 % respectively). Although it is estimated that specific costs have risen by a further 8% since 2009, the long-term trend appears to be that the proportion of machinery, building, energy and other costs in specialised beef producers’ total operating costs is growing.

In the period 2000-2009 a group of between 1011 and 1399 sample farms were selected to calculate these margins. They represented the 66020–76390 farms in the EU-27 specialised in cattle breeding.

In 2009 these farms held on average 72 livestock units (LU), of which 98 % were beef cattle. The specialisation rate6 was 81 %; family labour dominated at 91 % (see Annex II — Basic data and indicators, Table 1 on page 34). Between 2000 and 2009 the highest number of breeder farms was to be found in France, Spain and Ireland with 59, 55 and 25 average suckler cows per farm respectively in 2009. Although there are fewer breeding farms in Germany and the UK, they have the largest number of suckler cows (97 and 67 respectively) and the highest output per farm (see Table 4 on page 37 and Table 17 on page 51). The average number of suckler cows in EU-27 in 2009 was 47 which is fairly representative of the period between 2007 and 2009. The most labour-intensive type of production is carried out in Slovenia, Poland and Latvia where there are respectively 5, 10 and 12 suckler cows per 1 annual work unit (AWU). The least labour was used in France and the UK (52 and 48 suckler cows per annual work unit). Interestingly, in Denmark one AWU serves 37 suckler cows but there is less than one person employed per beef breeding farm.

Figure 10: Output, costs and margins, EU-All, Breeders, 2000-2011

According to estimates, average output grew for the last three years and reached a little more than EUR 900 per suckler cow in 2011. A similar pattern was observed between 2004 and 2006 but operating costs did not increase much which resulted in higher margins than those estimated for 2009-2011. Underlying margins have been very low since 2008 and it is only when coupled payments are taken into account that margins seem

to be reasonable. Even then, they are only roughly half the margins recorded between 2002 and 2005 (Figure 10).

6 The specialisation rate is calculated as the percentage of beef output in total output.


11

Figure 11: Output, costs and margins, EU groups, Breeders, 2009

Results from breeders in the EU-27 as a whole are dominated by those in the EU-15 (92.6 % of the represented farms), whose margins were higher than average and much higher than the EU-10 margins (Figure 11). The latter group have significantly lower than average production costs but their output is only a little over half the average output. In 2009 the EU-10 sample was dominated by four countries (Slovenia, Poland, the Czech Republic and Latvia) which made up 76 % of the represented farms. Except for Slovenia (where annual beef consumption is 20kg per

head) beef consumption in these countries is low, ranging between one quarter and about half the EU average. Although breeders are not directly connected with the consumer market, downward price movements are passed on to them and translate into low young cattle prices (58 % of the EU-27 average if Slovenia is excluded). This, in turn, largely explains the low output of beef in EU-10 countries.

Figure 12: Output and costs, EU-All, Breeders

Operating costs7 of producing cattle for breeding are estimated to have increased by nearly 40 % between 2000 and 2009; specific costs increased by 32 % and non-specific costs by 50 %. Total economic costs8 increased by 23 %. Depreciation was responsible for the biggest cost increase (56 %) while imputed

family factors went down by 4 %, which suggests that labour is becoming more efficient, thus lowering the costs of the family’s own input (Figure 12). 7 Operating costs in Figure 12 refer to specific costs plus non-specific costs (marked by yellow triangle). 8 Total economic costs include all components shown in Figure 12


12

Figure 13: Output and costs, EU groups, Breeders, 2009

When groups of countries within the EU are compared, it is worth noting that the level of specific costs in EU-15 countries is nearly twice that of EU-10 countries. Not only is output in EU-10 countries lower but so too are input prices including labour, feed, energy and water. In addition, the specialisation rate is lower, meaning that there are not so many ‘pure’ breeders in EU-10

countries and that a considerable proportion of this type of production is part of mixed and other types of production where costs can be lower than for the ‘regular’ breeding process. In contrast, imputed family factors are 21 % higher in EU-10 countries than in the EU-15. This is mainly due to much higher capital costs (67 %).9 Other cost elements are comparable.

Figure 14: Gross Margins, per Member State, Breeders, 2009

The way in which margins have evolved across the Member States shows that more breeders are generating negative margins than was the case in 2008. In 18 Member States the FADN sample was sufficient to represent results for breeders. As shown in Figure 14, the average margin differs widely. The highest values were recorded for Italy (one of a few cases where

margins have improved), Belgium and Spain and the lowest values were found in Denmark, Finland (without coupled payments) and the Czech Republic. Negative margins without coupled payments were recorded in 10 Member States, four more than in 2008. In 2009 the sample increased from 15 to 18 Member States and two ‘newcomers’ (Latvia and Greece) featured negative margins. Margins in Slovenia, Ireland and Germany moved from positive to negative and in the UK moved from negative margins to break-even and slightly above (including coupled payments). Direct payments in Austria, Latvia and Finland compensated

9 See Annex I — Methodology for further explanation. The ‘real interest rate’ applied to calculate unpaid

costs of own capital corresponds roughly to the difference between the long-term interest rate and inflation. Contrary to the pre-2009 years, in most Members States and notably in EU-10, inflation came down and came close to zero in 2009, so the real interest rate went up considerably causing unpaid costs of own capital to rise abruptly. It is worth noting that unpaid costs of own capital are estimates, and should be interpreted with caution.


13

negative margins so breeders in these countries enjoyed positive margins if coupled payments are included.

For most Member States, the common feature behind this development was an increase in non-specific costs.10 For example in Germany, where margins turned from positive to negative, a substantial increase in the cost of buildings and machinery maintenance (27 % in 2008/2009) together with an increase in the cost of contract work (36 %) put up non-specific costs by 11 %. Despite substantial falls in specific costs (down 13 %), and because non-specific costs make up 70 %11 of total costs, gross margins turned negative.

The unusually high estimated cost of capital in 2009 has significantly affected estimates of incomes as some costs elements are evaluated as opportunity costs (Figure 15).

Figure 15: Income indicators, EU-All, Breeders, 2000-2009

Margins fell from 2006 onwards and had a negative impact on incomes. From that year onwards, the farm net value added (FNVA) per annual work unit (AWU) went on a downward trend; the 2009 value is 18 % lower than in 2006 despite a 5 % rise in output and a 13 % increase in subsidies in

the form of decoupled and other payments.12 The drop in the FNVA was primarily caused by a substantial increase in intermediate consumption (21 %). The net value of subsidies went from being almost equal to the value of the FNVA to more than 130 % its value.

For the same period, there was a considerable drop in the estimated value of the remuneration of family labour (RFL). There were some limitations to this coefficient in 2009, however, as the estimate relies heavily on the real interest rate. The cost of capital, which had been relatively stable between 2000 and 2008, rose sharply in 2009 and caused a fall in RFL. However, this was a temporary situation in 2009 and, as real interest rates were lower in the following years, it can be expected that when estimates of beef production costs related to capital are produced, they will show a recovery.

10 Non-specific costs consist of: machinery and building maintenance, energy (fuel, electricity), contract work,

taxes and other direct input (including water and farm building insurance). 11 In 2008 it was 5 % less. 12 Including a 1 % increase in environmental subsidies.


14

Figure 16 Income indicators, EU groups, breeders, 2000-2009

Figure 16 shows that not only are margins lower in EU-10 countries than in EU-15 countries, but incomes are lower too. This can be explained in part by the smaller number of cows per farm, lower prices for beef and lower technical and labour efficiency (as indicated on page 10).

Figure 17: Income indicators, per Member State, Breeders, 2009 (positive incomes)

In order to make the results more visible, the income indicators for 2009 presented in Figure 17 and are divided into two groups of Member States — those where remuneration of family labour is positive and those where it is negative. As is the case with margins, incomes vary between Member States and reflect not only the diversity of the breeding sector but also the impact of the wider macroeconomic and fiscal conditions on the sector.

Figure 18: Income indicators, per Member State, Breeders, 2009 (negative incomes)

For the reasons explained above, two thirds of Member States experienced a drop in Farm Net Value Added (FNVA)13 in 2009 compared to the previous year. In some countries (e.g. Denmark and Luxemburg — see Figure 18) the situation was temporarily worsened by investment decisions taken before or during this time which effectively drove up indebtedness and thus debt service costs. The relaxation of monetary policy in the following years should have

13 Amount left for remuneration of the fixed factors of production (work, land and capital), whether external or

family factors.


15

improved the situation. Denmark stands out in this general picture as Danish breeders’ income indicators are permanently and substantially negative. There are reasons behind the Danish situation: (i) fiscal incentives allowing losses from a household activity to be deducted from household’s general income, lowering the effective rate of taxation, thus increasing actual income; (ii) the average real interest rate and other financial charges are usually high; (iii) the financial instruments chosen to finance modernisation trigger high financial charges; and (iv) the value of farm assets (especially land) is growing and farmers believe that it will grow in the future.

3. BREEDERS & FATTENERS’ MARGINS AND INCOMES

As was the case for breeders, 2009 was one of the worst years for breeders & fatteners; margin estimates for 2010 and 2011 are not optimistic and suggest that the situation worsened in 2010 with a slight recovery in 2011. Output increased and the overall level of costs increased but what was typical for the period of 2000 to 2010 was that specific costs directly linked to beef production increased less than non-specific costs; only in 2011 did specific costs accelerate much faster than non-specific costs, mainly due to higher feed costs.

In the period of 2000-2009, a group of between 1 420 and 1 735 sample farms were selected to calculate these margins. They represented between 77 670 and 95 910 farms in the EU-27 specialised in breeding cattle.

In 2009 these farms held on average 67 livestock units (LU), of which 96 % were beef cattle. The specialisation rate was 79 %, meaning that 79% of the output came from beef. Family labour dominated, at 91 % of the total employment (Table 2, page 35). Between 2000 and 2009 the highest number of breeding & fattening farms was to be found in Spain, the UK and France with, 53, 123 and 105 beef livestock units on average per farm respectively in 2009. Although there are fewer breeding & fattening farms in Belgium, here too they have a high headcount (110) and the highest output per farm, mainly due to the high price of Belgian Blue carcasses (see Table 4 on page 37).

The average number of suckler cows in EU-27 in 2009 was 35, which is fairly representative of the period between 2008 and 2009. As is the case for breeders, the most labour-intensive type of production is carried out in Slovenia and Poland where one annual work unit (AWU) is necessary to produce 4 and 7 finished cattle respectively. The lowest use of labour was in Denmark where one labour unit serves 93 cattle. Denmark is, however, a special case with less than one person employed per farm. Sweden, the second-least labour intensive Member State can produce 42 finished cattle per AWU.

Figure 19: Output, costs and margins, EU-All, Breeders & Fatteners, 2000-2011

According to estimates, average output grew for the last three years and reached nearly EUR 1 400 per animal sold in 2011. A similar pattern was observed between 2004 and 2006 but the margins were higher. Since 2010, underlying gross margins have been at an historically low level and it is only when coupled payments are taken into account that

margins seem to be reasonable. Even then, they are less half the margins recorded between 2000 and 2004 (Figure 19).


17

Figure 20 Output, costs and margins, EU groups, Breeders & Fatteners, 2009

Results from breeders & fatteners in the EU-27 as a whole are dominated by those in the EU-15 (88.1 % of the represented sample), whose margins were slightly higher than average and much higher than the EU-10 margins (Figure 20). The latter group face significantly lower than average production costs but their output is less than two thirds of the average EU

output. In 2009 the EU-10 sample was dominated by three countries (Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic) which made up 65 % of the EU-10 represented farms. For reasons similar to those for breeders, low consumer prices for beef in EU-10 countries translate into lower cattle prices (62 % of the EU-27 average). This in turn largely explains the low output of beef in the EU-10.

Figure 21: Output and costs, EU-All, Breeders & Fatteners

Operating costs of producing finished cattle from own animals are estimated to have increased by nearly 23 %, between 2000 and 2009, mainly due to higher feed and energy costs (representing 52 % and 16 % of the total increase in operating costs respectively). Total economic costs increased by 17 %. Depreciation was responsible for the

biggest cost increase (19 %) while imputed family factors went up by only 9 % (Figure 21). However, it is worth noting that both operational and economic costs were at fairly similar levels between 2006 and 2009.


18

Figure 22: Output and costs, EU groups, Breeders & Fatteners

When groups of countries within the EU are compared, we see the same story as with breeders, but values differ. Specific costs in EU-15 countries are 70% higher than those in EU-10 countries; imputed family factors are 21 % higher in EU-10 than in EU-15 countries due to higher family labour and capital costs (23 % and 17 %). This

is apparently a reflection of the lower labour productivity in EU-10 as one labour force unit is, at best, able to produce only half the number of finished animals that those in EU-15 countries produce. Farmers in EU-10 Member States have also faced higher depreciation costs (39 %) because they invested in the modernisation of their farms. Other cost elements are comparable.

Figure 23: Gross Margins, per Member State, Breeders & Fatteners, 2009

The way in which margins have evolved between the Member States shows that, in 2009, more breeders & fatteners generated negative margins than in 2008. In 16 Member States the FADN sample was sufficient to represent results for breeders & fatteners. As shown in Figure 23, the average margin differs widely. The highest values were recorded for Italy, Belgium (one of a few cases

where margins have improved) and Spain; the lowest values were found in Finland (without coupled payments), the Czech Republic and Sweden. Negative margins without coupled payments were recorded in 8 Member States, two more than in 2008. In 2009 the sample increased from 13 to 16 Member States and two ‘newcomers’ to the sample (Austria and Denmark) featured negative margins. Margins in Ireland and Portugal moved from positive to negative and in the UK from negative to positive. Direct payments in Austria, Portugal and Finland compensated negative margins so breeders & fatteners in these countries enjoyed positive margins if coupled payments are included.

In most Member States, specific production costs increased considerably less than non-specific costs; a common feature behind this development is a general rise in basic input costs (fuel, electricity) and capital-linked costs (insurance). For example, in Ireland, where margins moved from positive to negative in 2008/2009, there was a substantial increase (55 %) in the


19

cost of direct inputs including water and insurance of buildings and other goods. Although in nominal terms these are not high-cost items, they grow in importance over the years.

Figure 24: Income indicators, EU-All, Breeders& Fatteners, 2000-2009

Margins fell from 2004 onwards and had a negative impact on incomes, which began to fall as from 2006 (Figure 24). The farm net value added (FNVA) per annual work unit (AWU) in 2009 was 8 % lower than in 2006 despite a 5 %

rise in output and 1 % increase in subsidies in the form of decoupled and other payments. The drop in the FNVA was primarily caused by a substantial increase in intermediate consumption (13 %). The net value of subsidies went from being almost equal to the value of the FNVA to 7 % above the FNVA.

For the same period, there was a drop of more than one third in the estimated value of the remuneration of family labour (RFL).14 Between 2000 and 2009, breeders & fatteners in the EU as a whole15 managed to increase their apparent labour productivity16 by 5 %. The figure for breeders & fatteners in EU-15 countries was 17 %. Between 2004 and 2009, there was a drop in the efficiency of breeders & fatteners in EU-10 Member States.

Based on margin estimates, which are at a historically low level due to higher feed, animal purchase and energy costs, the income prospects for 2010 and 2011 do not look optimistic. Once the data are available it will need to be seen if and how coupled and decoupled payments compensated for this effect.

Figure 25: Income indicators, EU groups, Breeders & Fatteners, 2009

Figure 25 shows that not only are margins lower in EU-10 countries than in EU-15, but incomes are lower too. The explanation is much the same as that for breeders set out on page Error! Bookmark not defined. — lower technical and much lower labour efficiency where one annual work unit in EU-10 countries produces only a fraction of what is produced in the EU-15 (see text on

labour intensity on page 16).

Figure 26: Income indicators, per Member State, Breeders & Fatteners, 2009 (positive incomes)

In order to make the results more visible, the, income indicators for 2009 presented in Figure 26 are divided in two groups of Member States — those whose remuneration of family labour is positive and those where it is negative. As is the case with margins, incomes vary between Member States and reflect not only the diversity of the

breeding & fattening sector but also the impact of the wider macroeconomic and fiscal conditions on the sector.

Figure 27 Income indicators, MS, B&F, 2009 (negative incomes)

In 2009, all but five Member States (Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal and the UK) experienced a drop in Farm Net Value Added (FNVA) from the previous year. The reasons for this development are similar to those described in section 2 (page13) on breeders.

4. FATTENERS’ MARGINS AND INCOMES

Fatteners appear to have survived the 2009 crisis better than breeders or breeders & fatteners. They succeeded in maintaining reasonable gross margins, considering the harsh macroeconomic conditions. However, since 2008, the way in which these margins have evolved is not favourable and the 2010 and 2011 estimates suggest a significant further deterioration of the situation. As was the case for breeders and breeders & fatteners, specific costs fell by 6 % in 2008-2009 while non-specific costs rose by 7 %. This is typical for the period beginning in 2000. Estimates for 2010 and 2011 suggest that the situation has reversed, with specific costs growing faster than non-specific costs mainly due to high feed and animal purchase costs.

In the period between 2000 and 2009, a group of between 272 and 468 sample farms were selected to calculate these margins. They represented between 14 980 and 23 090 farms in the EU-27 specialised in fattening young male cattle.

In 2009 these farms held on average 69 livestock units (LU), of which 95 % were beef cattle. The specialisation rate was 79 %. Family labour dominated, at 90 % (Table 3, page 36). Between 2000 and 2009 the highest number of fattening farms was to be found in Ireland, Spain, Italy and Germany with 49, 40, 152 and 80 beef livestock units respectively in 2009. These numbers cannot be directly compared with breeders & fatteners because the animals are usually kept for a shorter period and therefore fatteners sell many more animals during the year than breeders & fatteners. This is confirmed by the value of output which can be more than 20 times that of other types of production (see, for example, Italy Table 4 on page 37). The most labour-intensive type of production is carried out in Poland and Slovenia, with 12 and 16 cattle respectively sold per AWU. The lowest use of labour was in Denmark and Italy — one AWU per 263 cattle sold in Denmark and one per 135 in Italy.

Figure 28: Output, costs and margins, EU-All, Fatteners, 2000-2011

Between 2008 and 2009, according to the estimates presented in Figure 28, output and operating costs declined but costs fell at a slower pace, reducing the gross margin. Output began to recover in 2010 and 2011 and should have reached nearly EUR 1 300 per animal but operating costs increased more quickly,

drastically squeezing margins. Based on an observation of the time series, it seems that there is a cyclical 3-year pattern of output and cost growth (2001-2003, 2004-2006 and 2009-2011). After each cycle costs fall but output stays at a similar level. If this is a long-term pattern, gross margins in 2012 should have increased.

Coupled payments up to 2004 were much higher than in the period thereafter which allowed fatteners to enjoy quite good margins. Since 2006, coupled payments have been at or around EUR 40 per animal sold. Although this nominal value is not high, it represents more than half the gross margin. Given fatteners’ high level of turnover, such payments may positively contribute to beef fatteners’ economic situation.


22

Figure 29: Output, costs and margins, EU groups, Fatteners, 2009

Results from fatteners in the EU-27 as a whole are dominated by those in the EU-15 (89 % of the represented sample) whose margins were slightly higher than average and approximately twice the EU-10 margins (Figure 29). The latter group have lower production costs but also lower output (65 % of the average).The only two countries presented in this section (Poland and Slovenia) represent 43 % of the whole EU-10 sample for 2009.17 For reasons similar to those for breeders, low consumer prices for beef in EU-10 countries translate into lower

cattle prices (68 % of the EU-27 average).

Figure 30: Output and costs, EU-All, EU groups, Fatteners

Beef fattening is characterised by intensive purchasing of animals (58 % of total operating costs on average). Along with feed costs, animal purchases constitute 85 % of total operating costs. Fatteners benefit from economies of scale in the sense that the proportion of non-specific costs in total operating costs is low (15 %). Similarly, specific costs make up

62 % of the total economic costs, twice the equivalent level for breeders or breeders & fatteners.

17 The remaining 57 % are spread between countries where the sample is too low to be presented in this report.

They are, however, used to calculate EU-27 and EU-10 averages. These are the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania and Latvia.


23

Figure 31: Output and costs, EU groups, Fatteners

The estimated operating costs of producing cattle increased by 17 % between 2000 and 2009. Specific costs increased by 14 % and non-specific costs by 42 %. Total economic costs increased by 18 %. Depreciation was responsible for the biggest cost increase (28 %). Specific costs went up the least

(Figure 30). However, it is worth noting that between 2006 and 2009 costs fell. When EU groups are compared, the same pattern appears but specific costs are 65% higher in EU-15 countries than in the EU-10. Output and costs between EU-15 countries and those in the EU-10 are in proportion. For example, output per animal sold in EU-15 in 2009 was 57 % higher than in the EU-10. Total operating costs are higher by practically the same amount (56 %). Similarly, as regards output and costs per annual work unit, this proportion oscillates around 1:4 and is an indicator of the lower labour productivity in EU-10 countries.

Figure 32: Gross Margins, per Member State, Fatteners, 2009

In 11 Member States the FADN sample was sufficient to represent results for fatteners. The way in which margins have evolved shows that the same number of Member States generated negative margins as in 2008 but nearly all of them experienced lower margins (Figure 32). The average gross margin (without coupled payments) differed widely.

The highest values were recorded for Italy and Poland; the lowest values were found in Finland, Sweden and Denmark. Coupled payments compensated negative margins so all Member States enjoyed positive gross margins where coupled payments are included. Non-specific costs increased by 7 % in 2008-2009 and specific costs fell by 6 %, a pattern which was already observed for breeders and breeders & fatteners. It is interesting to note that animal purchase costs fell even more (–9 %) which is in line with the falling value of output for breeders. It illustrates that breeders and fatteners are interconnected through the market.


24

Figure 33: Relationship between Breeders and Fatteners 2000-2011, EU-All

Figure 33 shows that the interconnection between breeders and fatteners is rather strong with a clear and well-explained regression line (high R2) and the relationship is basically in a 1:1 proportion.

This means that an increase in the value of breeders’ output results in roughly the same increase in the value of fatteners’ animal purchases.

Figure 34: Income indicators, EU-All, Fatteners, 2000-2009

Margins fell from 2008 onwards and had a negative impact on income levels, which also fell. The farm net value added (FNVA) per annual work unit (AWU) in 2009 was 4 % lower than in 2008. This is mainly a consequence of the 8 % fall in output. Subsidies increased by 13 % and allowed fatteners to maintain

a reasonable income. The net value of subsidies has grown from 72 % of the FNVA to 85 %, close to the average value for the period between 2000 and 2009.

For the same period 2008-2009, estimates of the remuneration of family labour dropped by more than one third. Between 2000 and 2009, fatteners in the EU as a whole18 managed to increase their labour productivity by more than 13 %. In EU-15 countries, this improvement was greater, at 26 %.

Based on margin estimates, which are at an historically low level due to higher feed, animal purchase and energy costs, income prospects for 2010 and 2011 do not look optimistic.

25

Figure 35: Income indicators, EU groups, Fatteners, 2009

Figure 35 shows that FNVA in EU-10 countries is only 23 % of the EU-27 average. The corresponding figure for farm net income is 29 % and for the remuneration of family labour 27 %. This pattern can be explained in the same manner as in the case of breeders and breeders & fatteners on page 19: lower technical and much lower labour efficiency whereby one annual work unit in EU-10

countries produces only a fraction of what is produced in the EU-15 (see text on labour intensity on page 16).

Figure 36: Income indicators, per Member State, Fatteners, 2009

The income indicators for 2009 presented in Figure 36 show a very wide range of values. Italy is the top-performing country in beef fattening with results that are more than twice as high as those in Spain, the second in the ‘ranking’. Large Italian farms, with the

highest output per farm (Table 4 on page 37) benefit from economies of scale and favourable natural conditions to fatten beef. They are able to generate high farm net value added (FNVA), achieve high farm net income (FNI) and remuneration of family labour. Fatteners in Denmark, despite generating the second highest FNVA per labour unit, arrive at a negative FNI. This is because of high external costs; interest paid by fatteners in Denmark amounted to 27 % of the total output per annual work unit in 2009 while the average amount of interest paid by fatteners in the EU as a whole in 2009 was 3.3 % of the total output. In addition Danish fatteners incur high labour costs. Although Danish farms quite often employ less than one full-time person, the cost of wages is double the European average.

5. BEEF PRODUCERS AND OTHER SECTORS OF AGRICULTURE

This section briefly presents income indicators for beef producers including specialist breeders, breeders & fatteners and fatteners in comparison with other agricultural activity (Figure 37). In 2009, incomes fell in the vast majority of agricultural occupations and were largely an outcome of externalities, namely input and output market conditions and, particularly, high capital costs.

Between 2007 and 2009, group 6 — other grazing livestock producers — generated income that was below average in terms of farm net value added per annual work unit. The average income of type 6 farmers is lower than beef specialised producers, because it includes sheep, goats and other grazing livestock that have less potential to generate high incomes. Consequently specialist beef breeders and breeders & fatteners performed somewhat better than this group but were still below average as compared to the rest of agriculture.

Fatteners have the highest income per annual work unit (see Table 5, on page 39) and, apart from group 7 — granivores19 — the highest rate of farm net value added growth (see Table 6 on page 40). Although fatteners have one of the highest specific cost levels, they performed relatively well during the crisis year. However, this is partly due to the nature of this type of production, with relatively low use of labour per output unit. Beef production in general benefits from the highest net balance of subsidies and taxes of all agricultural sectors. This contributed to fatteners’ good result and helped breeders and breeders & fatteners to survive.

Figure 37 Income indicators in European agriculture 2007-2009

19 Granivores includes pig and poultry producers for whom 2009 was a very good year.


6. CONCLUSIONS

In 2009, specialist beef producers’ margins were very low but positive in most cases. After 2006, which had been a good year for beef producers, the situation deteriorated and in 2008 became critical for breeders and breeders & fatteners; fatteners were less affected. Coupled payments, which have been relatively stable since 2006, improved beef producers’ margins to some extent.

The income situation deteriorated in 2009 for all types of production. Although margin estimates for 2010 and 2011 do not look optimistic, they will have to be verified with new FADN data. The analysis suggests that farmers are increasing their labour efficiency and, over time, reducing their direct costs, the largest category of costs. There is thus some scope for moderate optimism that, based on margin estimates, 2010 and 2011 incomes may be better than estimated in this report.

Gross margins and income indicators in EU-10 countries are lower than those for the EU-15 because of the lower number of cows/cattle per farm, lower prices for beef and lower technical and labour efficiency.

Output increased between 2000 and 2009 but a general rise in production costs and, most noticeably, exceptionally high capital costs in 2009 outweighed this positive development. In addition, significant policy changes (the decoupling of direct payments in 2004-2006 and of complementary national direct payments in some new Member States in 2007) had a negative effect on gross margins.

When compared to other agricultural activities, specialist beef producers’ income gives a mixed picture. In 2007-2009, breeders and breeders & fatteners performed slightly below average but fatteners had the highest income per annual work unit and one of the highest rates of growth. Of the eight groups of agricultural activities, (TF8), the highest subsidies go to specialist beef producers. These subsidies have helped breeders and breeders & fatteners to survive and contributed to the good results achieved by fatteners.

Input and output costs were not the only influence on the beef sector in the years under review. General macroeconomic conditions, including the economic crisis of 2009, also had a noticeable impact on agricultural development. One of the largest cost increases was for capital-linked items, primarily through higher interest rates. This factor caused a fall in incomes as the cost of capital increased considerably.

ANNEX I — METHODOLOGY

METHOD

General introduction to FADN

The Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) is a European system of sample surveys that take place each year and collect structural and accountancy data relating to farms; their aim is to monitor the income and business activities of agricultural holdings and to evaluate the impacts of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

The scope of the FADN20 survey covers only those farms exceeding a minimum economic size (threshold) so as to cover the most relevant part of the agricultural activity of each EU Member State, i.e. at least 90 % of the total Standard Gross Margin21 (SGM) covered in the Farm Structure Survey (FSS, EUROSTAT) performed in 2007. For this year, the sample consists of approximately 81 000 holdings in the EU-27, which represents 5.1 million farms (37 %) of a total of nearly 14 million farms included in the FSS.

The applicable rules are aimed at providing representative data along three dimensions: region, economic size and type of farming. FADN is the only harmonised source of micro-economic data, which means that the accounting principles are the same in all EU Member States.

The most recent FADN data available for this report are for the 2009 accounting year;22 this is because of the time needed to collect and compile the data of all the EU Member States.

The model for estimating beef production costs and margins

The FADN database contains information about output, specific costs and subsidies per product, but as far as non-specific costs are concerned it only provides information relating to the farm as a whole. Hence, the direct contribution of each enterprise to the farm income is not available. This means that the production costs by product have to be estimated. The EU FADN unit has built several models to estimate costs and margins for the various products: arable crops, milk and beef, pigmeat and permanent crops. These models allocate farm costs to a particular product using different ratios.

20 For more information on FADN: http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/rica/index.cfm. 21 The Standard Gross Margin (SGM) is the difference between the standardised monetary value of gross

production and the standardised monetary value of certain special costs. This difference is calculated for the various crop and animal characteristics (per hectare or per animal), at the level of the survey district for each Member State and given in €. By multiplying the areas or the number of animals by the corresponding SGM and then adding the products together, the total SGM of the holding is obtained. By adding the total SGM of all holdings of a Member State, the total Member State SGM is obtained. The concept of SGM is used for the determination of the economic size and the type of farming in FADN and in the Farm Structure Survey (FSS) organised by EUROSTAT.

22 Some information is still provisional for Spain and Greece 2007. Moreover it should be noted that Malta 2004 is missing and that Dutch 2000 data are estimates based on 1999 data.


29

Opportunity costs for unpaid family factors

Imputed costs for unpaid family factors have been estimated. The aim is to enable a comparison to be made between Member States with different structures in terms of labour (share of family and paid labour), land (rented/owned) and capital.

Definitions of margins The gross margin (over operating costs)23 is generally used when making comparisons with alternative types of production for which it can be assumed that factor costs are identical (labour, land and capital costs still have to be paid whichever type of production is chosen). The net margin (before own factors) is calculated as the gross margin minus depreciation and external factors (wages, rent, interest paid). The net economic margin (after own factors) allows assessment of the residual revenue obtained from the production after remuneration of all production factors, including own land costs, own capital costs and family labour (imputed family factors).

The FADN does not gather data on the weight of the animals. Therefore only the costs and margins per head can be analysed. It should be taken into account that these head counts could be for animals of different breeds, weights and age categories.

Estimates for 2010 and 2011

The output, operating costs and gross margin (over operating costs) for 2011 and 2012 are estimated on the basis of beef price indices and input price indices. It is assumed that structures and beef production remain unchanged.

Income indicators

Income indicators of specialised beef farms are derived at the level of the whole farm. Therefore they incorporate the results of other activities that may be carried out on the farm. The following income indicators are studied in this report:

– Farm Net Value Added (FNVA) equals total output (total production value), plus direct payments minus intermediate consumption and depreciation. It represents the amount available to remunerate all fixed production factors (land, labour and capital), either owned by the farm or external. It is relatively comparable between Member States, but it gives only a partial picture of the farms’ results as not all costs are covered.

– Farm Net Income (FNI) equals FNVA minus external factors, plus the balance of subsidies and taxes on investment. It is the amount available to remunerate family factors (labour, land and capital).

– Remuneration of Family Labour (RFL) is calculated only for family farms.24 It equals FNI minus the opportunity cost for own capital. It represents the amount available to remunerate family labour. It can be used to compare income levels between different

23 Gross margin = beef revenues minus specific costs (such as feed and veterinary costs,) and other operating

costs (maintenance of machinery, energy, contract work, taxes on land and buildings, etc.). 24 For the purpose of this report, ‘family farms’ are defined as farms employing an unpaid labour force, which

usually corresponds to family labour.


30

activities in agriculture, given that period under review is characterised by shared macroeconomic parameters.

These indicators are expressed per Annual Work Unit (AWU) for FNVA and FNI, or per Family Work Unit (FWU) for RFL, to take account of the differences in the labour force remunerated on the holding. All income indicators are calculated before deduction of income taxes and expressed in euro at its current value unless otherwise stated.

THE MODEL

Specific costs

Home-grown forage

One feature of FADN accounts is that they assign no value to the production of fodder areas in some countries (generally those in the north of the EU).25

In order to take into account the differences in data-gathering and to facilitate comparison between Member States, fodder production consumed on the farm is valued as equal to the cost of the inputs used to cultivate the fodder area.

The share of fodder crops in specific crop costs (seeds, fertilisers and crop protection) is estimated from the share of fodder area in the total area. As not all types of fodder crop benefit from the same inputs (e.g. there is no crop protection on temporary grassland), the area taken into account — both the forage part and the total area — depends on the input. This cost item is known as ‘specific forage costs’.

Livestock replacement/animal purchase costs

Since the FADN survey was conducted for 2000, the farm return has included a table giving details of the number and value of bovine animals sold and purchased. Nevertheless, in the first year following its introduction, this table was not completed by Ireland, Italy, Finland and Sweden. In the case of Greece, this table is missing for both 2000 and 2001. In Italy, from 2001 to 2005 only the total number and value of bovine animals were available. Therefore, the replacement costs of livestock in these MS are estimated from the total purchase value of bovine animals.

Method of allocating costs

Costs have to be estimated because FADN accounts, like many others, are not based on analytical accounts. This means that costs are not recorded separately for the various enterprises on the holding. The specific costs of crop products and animals are recorded separately (not by product, but by group of products) and all the other costs are recorded for the entire holding only.

It is therefore necessary to lay down rules for allocating the different costs recorded at farm level to each enterprise.

Costs are allocated to beef production on the basis of three criteria (see the table below):

25 This stems mainly from the difficulty of estimating forage production and value. Therefore, based on the

principle that forage production is just an input for animal production and that not recording it — neither on the crop output side, nor on the animal costs side — does not affect income, no effort is made to estimate it. In other countries, generally those where fodder production is more expensive, a value is allocated to production from the fodder areas. Even though this difference should not affect margins, it leads to biases when comparing costs between Member States.


31

1. the proportion of livestock units (LU): for the livestock-specific costs (mainly feed);

2. the proportion of area: for the costs of forage produced on the farm; 3. the proportion of output and coupled direct payments (DP): for the other costs.

‘Beef cattle’ means all cattle except dairy cows and a share of total breeding heifers and young females equal to the proportion of suckler cows in the total number of cows (dairy cows, cull dairy cows and other cows).

COST ITEM ALLOCATION KEYS FOR BEEF PRODUCTION

Purchased feed for grazing livestock (concentrates and coarse fodder)

% of beef livestock units in the total grazing livestock units

Crops produced on the farm used for feed % of beef livestock units in the total livestock units

On-farm use of forage crops = ‘specific forage costs’

% of beef livestock units in the total grazing livestock units

Seed % of the total utilised agricultural area (UAA) under fodder crops and temporary grass — after exclusion of fallow land, areas leased to others, meadows and rough grazing

Fertilisers % of the total UAA under fodder crops, temporary grass and meadows — after exclusion of fallow land, areas leased to others and rough grazing

Crop protection % of the total UAA under fodder crops — after exclusion of fallow land, temporary grass, areas leased to others, meadows and rough grazing

Animal purchases

cattle under one year and male cattle

all females over one year

100 %

% of suckler cow livestock units in the total cow livestock units

Other specific livestock costs (e.g. veterinary costs)

% of beef livestock units in the total livestock units

All other costs (non-specific costs) % of beef output and DP in the total output and coupled DP

As ‘output and coupled DP’ is used to construct the scale, certain precautions must be taken to avoid problems with the estimates:

- output and coupled DP on beef and total production should be positive;

- beef output and DP should not be greater than total output and coupled DP.

Farms that do not meet these conditions are excluded from the sample.


32

Margin and cost indicators

Coverage of costs

– Operating costs include:

– specific costs: purchased feed, home-grown feed, animals purchased and other specific livestock costs (such as veterinary costs);

– non-specific operating costs: maintenance of machinery and buildings, power (fuels and electricity), contract work, taxes and other dues, taxes on land and buildings, insurance for farm buildings and other direct costs.

Water can be considered as specific (for maize) or non-specific (for milk) depending on the product concerned.

– Depreciation

– External factors include:

– wages

– rent

– interest

– Imputed unpaid family factors include:

– family labour cost

– own capital cost (own land cost + estimated cost for own capital except land minus interest paid)

Own capital cost

– Own land cost: estimated on the basis of the rent that farm owners would have to pay if they had to rent the land they are using.

This is estimated as the owned area multiplied by the rent paid per hectare on the same farm or, if there is no rented land on the farm, by the average rent paid per hectare in the same region and for the same type of farming.26

– Cost of own capital (except land): the cost of own capital (permanent crops, buildings, machinery and equipment, forest land, livestock and crop stocks) is estimated at its ‘opportunity cost’, i.e. how much farmers could earn if they were to deposit the equivalent of the capital value in a bank.

26 If there are not enough farms (fewer than 20) in a given region for a given type of farming, the national rent per hectare for that type of farming is used (TF8). The TF8 classification is a standard grouping developed by the unit responsible for FADN within the Commission and consist of (1) Fieldcrops (2) Horticulture (3) Wine (4) Other permanent crops (5) Milk (6) Other grazing livestock, (7) Granivores, (8) Mixed. More information on standard grouping (including TF8) can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/rica/diffusion_en.cfm#sg


33

The interest paid on the capital is not known, as this information is optional in the FADN farm returns. Nevertheless, to take into account the actual interest rate paid by a farm, a ‘weighted’ interest rate is calculated as the weighted average of this interest rate for debts, and the long-term (LT) interest rate, taken from the Global Insight database, for net worth. If the ‘weighted’ interest rate is lower than the LT interest rate (which means that the calculated rate of interest paid is lower than the LT interest rate), the LT interest rate is used instead of the ‘weighted’ interest rate.

Own capital value (excluding land and land improvement) is estimated as the average value of the assets (closing plus opening valuation divided by 2) multiplied by the real interest rate.27 The figure is adjusted by subtracting the inflation rate28 from the nominal interest rate. Where the inflation rate is higher than the interest rate, the real interest rate may be negative, leading to a negative cost of capital, which will add to profits (i.e. it is more profitable to invest in farm assets than to put the money in the bank). The total circulating capital is not valued because of the unreliability of this variable in some Member States. Nevertheless, the value of crop stocks is taken into account.

To calculate unpaid capital costs, we avoid double counting by deducting the interest paid from the sum of the own land cost and the cost for own capital except land:

Own capital costs = own land cost + estimated cost for own capital except land - interest paid

All margins are displayed with or without coupled payments. The decoupled payments are not attributed to products by definition. They are taken into account when studying income indicators.

Gross margin (over operating costs): Output – operating costs

Net margin (before own factors): Output – operating costs – depreciation – external factors

Net economic margin (after own factors): Output – total input (including imputed unpaid family factor costs)

27 Any increase in the value of assets is excluded from income calculations. For example, land appreciates in

value over time, which is one of the reasons why investors invest in land. This gain is not included in the income, so it would not be consistent to include it in the cost of capital. In addition, in the FADN, assets are valued at replacement value. Depreciation is based on this replacement value and therefore already takes any increase in prices (inflation) into account. Consequently, including the inflation part of interest in the cost of capital would constitute double counting.

28 The inflation rate is based on the Eurostat annual average rate of change in the Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices (HICPs) — available from 1997. Inflation rates based on price indices for GDP and gross fixed capital consumption have been tested, but they are very high and tend to yield very high negative costs for capital, mainly in the EU-10. An inflation rate based on price indices for gross fixed capital consumption has been tested, as this seemed to be more closely related to assets. However, this rate has tended to fluctuate widely over the years in certain Member States. In addition, land is one of the main assets and does not depreciate. It follows that the inflation rate for gross fixed capital consumption must not be more closely linked to the change in the price of agricultural assets than to the consumer price indices.
