Economic aggregates of the forestry and logging industry (excluding other industries)

In the extended Economic Accounts of Forestry, the forestry sector is depicted with its economic transactions. It contains key figures on the emergence and use of the production value of the forestry sector in million Euro.

 

EFA-table B 1 comprises 10 positions, each with further sub-positions:

1.Total output (at basic prices)
2.Total intermediate input
3.Gross value added (at basic prices)
4.Factor income
5.Net operating surplus and mixed income
6.Gross fixed capital for mation (excluding deductible VAT)
7.Net fixed capital for mation (excluding deductible VAT)
8.Changes in inventories
9.Capital transfers (net)
10.Total labour input (in 1000 AWU)

In the form of a macroeconomic calculation, in EFA-table B 1, the gross value added of the forestry sector is initially derived from the total output at basic prices and the total intermediate input. The net value added is calculated by deducting the consumption of fixed capital from the gross value added. The factor income is then calculated by deducting other taxes on production and other subsidies on production. By further deducting the compensation of employees, the operating surplus and mixed income is determined. Then, by deducting the balances from rents paid and received, leases and interest, the entrepreneurial income is calculated.

Production value of the forestry sector in million Euro (EFA Table B 1):
The production value is divided into the biological production (net increment), technical production (industrial roundwood and fuel wood), non-wood products (e.g. plant parts, wild edible products), services characteristic of forestry and timber harvesting (e.g. forest planning and mapping, logging) and other non-separable products from ancillary activities of the local kind-of activity-unit (KAU, e.g. services of national parks).

Use of the production value of the forestry sector in million Euro (EFA Table B 1):
The use is made up of inputs, compensation of employees, net entrepreneurial income, depreciation and others (production taxes, subsidies, rents and interest).
