Southern and Eastern Region
Two thirds of Agricultural Output in the Southern and
Eastern region
The Southern and Eastern region accounted for almost 65% of agricultural output
at producer prices in the year 2001, with 35% of output in the Border, Midland and
Western region. Net subsidies were split more evenly between the two regions,
with the Border, Midland and Western region receiving almost 49% of total net
subsidies in 2001, and the Southern and Eastern region receiving 51%. The
operating surplus in agriculture in 2001 was split approximately in the ratio of
58:42 in favour of the Southern and Eastern region. See above table and table 10.

Statistics
A comparison of agriculture in the two regions over the period 1995-2001 shows
that (see Tables 1 to 10):
¨ Three-quarters of national milk output is in the Southern and Eastern
region.
ISSN 1649-2935
The percentage share of each of the two regions in the value of agricultural
produce (at producer prices) was relatively stable over the period 1995 to 2001.
The Southern and Eastern region accounted for around 65% throughout that
period. The consumption of inputs (intermediate consumption) was also split in
a similar proportion.
When all inputs are deducted and the effect of net subsidies is added in, the
Southern and Eastern region accounted for about 60% of the operating surplus in
agriculture with the Border, Midland and Western region accounting for 40%.
As the following table shows, the impact of subsidies on operating surplus was
greater in the Border, Midland and Western region:

Net subsidies: (subsidies on products less taxes on products) plus (subsidies on production less taxes
on production).
In 2001, net subsidies accounted for 61.9% of operating surplus in the Border,
Midland and Western region, compared with 46.3% in the Southern and Eastern
region. The contribution of net subsidies to operating surplus increased in both
regions between 1995 and 2001. For the State overall, net subsidies grew from
33.0% of operating surplus in 1995 to 52.8% in 2001. See table 11.
The composition of net subsidies has also changed over these years. At State
level in 1995, net subsidies on products amounted to 676m, with the net value of
other subsidies on production totalling 181m. In 2000, the value of net
subsidies on products was 844m with other subsidies totalling 451m. In 2001,
this changed to 686m related directly to products and a net value of 694m of
other subsidies on production. This shift away from subsidies directly related to
products took place in both regions, between 2000 and 2001.
Background information from Census of Agriculture 2000
The following table shows that, while the Border, Midland and Western region
accounted for 52.7% of farms in the State in 2000, it accounted for 43.6% of the
area of land farmed.

Regional Accounts for Agriculture
Background Notes
About this Release
This Regional Accounts for Agriculture release gives a regional breakdown of figures published at
State level in the Estimated Output, Input and Income in Agriculture release.
Regional accounts for the whole economy are also published by the CSO. Details on agriculture are
included (as part of the agriculture, forestry and fisheries figure) in these publications. Details for
agriculture, forestry and fisheries (and the other sectors of the economy) are published for the item
Gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices. This is a measure of the value of the goods and services
produced in a region priced at the value which the producers received minus any taxes payable and
plus any subsidies receivable as a consequence of their production or sale. For agriculture alone
(excluding forestry and fisheries) this figure relates to the Operating Surplus figure shown in the
present release as follows:
GVA at basic prices =
Allocation to Regions
Operating surplus
+ Compensation of employees
+ Fixed capital consumption
- Other subsidies less taxes on production
The general approach for the compilation of regional agricultural accounts is that the State level
value is allocated to each region. The total of the two regions equals the State level figure. The
choice of allocator used to distribute State level values to the regions differs for each accounts item.
The allocator is whatever mainly determines the value of an accounts item. Thus, for example, for
milk the number of dairy cows, and for sheep the number of sheep, per region, are the allocators
used to derive regional estimates of these agricultural accounts items. See details of methodology
and data sources in Appendix 1.
The broad methodology used to allocate the value of items to regional level was developed by the
ESRI and described in a report in Compilation of Regional Accounts in Ireland, Estimates of GVA
by Region for 1991, published in December 1995.
The majority of the State level agricultural account items (which are themselves estimates) are
allocated, in the absence of actual regional value data, using the methodology as outlined above.
More reliance should be placed on the changes between years rather than on the absolute value of
the figures for any one year.
The regional results presented in this release relate to each region as a whole. Thus the regional
values of the account items, including operating surplus, are not necessarily spread uniformly
throughout the region.

Methodology
Livestock
The method estimates regional cattle output together

Cattle 1. Cattle numbers by type of cattle
numbers
with stock changes and inter-regional cattle sales by
type of cattle. This resulting estimate of cattle output
2. Stock prices by type of cattle
CSO price statistics
by type of cattle is then rescaled to the state level
accounts total. This rescaled total of cattle output by
3. Cull rates for bulls and dairy and other cows Department of Agriculture and Food type of cattle is then allocated to each region
(DAF)
according to the number of each cattle type in each
region.
Sheep 1. Number of breed of sheep per region
Census of Agriculture (COA) 1991
DAF
3. Number of ewes per region
CSO June survey of livestock
numbers

2. Sheep productivity (net lamb births per ewe)
and price per lamb for the breed
Pigs Number of pigs per region
Horses Number of horses per region
Poultry Number of type of poultry per region
CSO June survey of livestock
numbers
CSO June survey of livestock
numbers
CSO June survey of livestock
numbers
Output per breed of sheep is determined from number
of sheep per breed, productivity and price per breed of
lamb, as supplied by DAF. This output per breed of
sheep is then rescaled to the state level accounts total.
Ewe numbers per breed of sheep per region are
determined by multiplying numbers of ewes per region
by the percentage of each breed of sheep in the region
per the COA 1991. These regional ewe numbers by
breed of sheep are then used to allocate the state level
output by breed of sheep (as calculated above).
The number of pigs per region is used to allocate
the state level value of pig output.
The number of horses per region is used to allocate
the state level value of horse output.
The number of type of poultry per region is used to
allocate the state level value of poultry output.

Livestock Products
Data used for regional allocation
Milk 1. Average regional value of milk produced per
cow
2. Number of dairy cows
Eggs 1. Number of hen laying stock

Wool 1. Number of breed of sheep per region
Source
Methodology
Teagasc national farm survey (NFS) The regional value of milk production is calculated
estimate
by multiplying the regional value of milk production
per cow by the number of cows in each region. The
CSO June survey of livestock
state level accounts figure for milk is then allocated

to each region pro rata according to this regional
breakdown.
