SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS Artūras Vaitkevičius Senior specialist Agriculture and Environment Statistics Division
Agriculture and environment statistics division compiles Supply balance sheets from 1988. From year 2000 new methodology was implemented in order to equalize, improve and get comparable with other EU countries supply balance sheets. From year 2000 SBS is calculated for both: calendar year and crop year. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 2
Nowadays, the supply balance sheets are compiled for these agricultural products: cereals (common wheat, durum wheat, rye, barley, oats, maize, triticale, others). dried pulses ( peas, beans, lupine seeds, others). potatoes (total and for early potatoes and others sorts, potatoes starch). rice (rough, husked, milled, broken rice). sugar (sugar beat, sugar, honey). fats and oils ( rape, flax, olive, sunflower, soya and others). fruits and vegetables (total for apples and pears, fresh and proccesed peaches, oranges, citrus fruits, grapes, nuts, cauliflower, fresh and processed tomatoes). Wine. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 3
Reference period The reference period of 12 months is either the crop year or the marketing year. Product or group of products Reference period Cereals (except rice) 01.07-30.06 Dried pulses 01.07-30.06 Potatoes and potato starch 01.07-30.06 Rice 01.09-31.08 Sugar 01.10-30.09 Olive oil 01.11-31.10 Other oils 01.07-30.06 Nuts, dried fruit, citrus fruit 01.07-30.06 Dessert apples,pears, fresh peaches, processed peaches, fresh grapes 01.04-31.03 Oranges 01.10-30.09 Cauliflower, fresh tomatoes, processed tomatoes 01.04-31.03 Wine 01.08-31.07 SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 4
Supply balance sheets The supply balance sheets which are compiled for calendar year: cereals (common wheat, durum wheat, rye, barley, oats, maize, triticale, others), dried pulses ( peas, beans, lupine seeds, others), potatoes (total for all potatoes), sugar (sugar), fruits (total for all fruits), vegetables (total all vegetables).

Legal acts and other agreements The supply balance of wine is produced under the Commission Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 of 26 May 2009, which arises from the Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 of 29 April 2008 on the common organisation of the market in wine. The supply balances for the other products are supplied to Eurostat in accordance with "gentlemen's agreements" and according to common rules drawn up by a Working Party. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 6
Documentation on methodology Eurostat has published some handbooks on compiling balance sheets: Crop production. Handbook to compile supply balance sheets (Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, 2001) Handbook for compiling supply balance sheets Wines (Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, 2010) Handbooks for every supply balance sheets (Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, 2009) SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 7
Supply balance sheets The Supply balance sheets compare resources and uses of a product ( or a group of products) in a reference area (European Union or Member State), over a reference period (calendar year or crop year). The idea of SBS is to "summarise" data from different sources to show the various flows and uses of a specific product in a specific reference area over a specific period of time. The data refer to the production, trade and various uses of the product. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 8
The general scheme for SBS: Resources = Uses Resources Usable production Initial stocks Imports Uses Domestic use: Seeds Losses Animal feed Industrial uses Transformation (processing) Human consumption Exports Final stocks SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 9
Usable production Usable production includes: Agricultural production at the national holding level; Production on the territory of processed products ( sugar, rape oil). Data used for calculation: Crop area, production and yield survey. Industrial Statistics division data about processed products production. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 10
Imports, Exports The Official Foreign Trade statistics is the source for value and volume of imports and exports covering goods (raw products or processed products) which: enter or leave the statistical territory of the Community (extra-community trade), circulate between the statistical territories of the Member States (intra- Community trade). SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 11
Stocks initial stock : the quantities unused but stored, on the first day of the reference period and coming from the previous reference period(s). final stock : the stored quantities existing on the last day of the period. change in stocks corresponds to the level of stocks wherever they are held during the reference period : final stock - initial stock. That includes: production stocks, at national agriculture level; market stocks, held by wholesale trade companies, importers and/or exporters and processing companies; That excludes stocks at retail trade level and at household level. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 12
Seeds Quantities of raw product used for the following production cycle. Data used for calculation: Generalized Annual report of financial activity of agricultural companies and enterprises (data from Ministry of Agriculture) Dynamic with sowing norms from previous years. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 13
Losses Losses which have occurred after the delivery of products (at the time of storage, handling, processing), including the quantities withdrawn from the market and made unsuitable for consumption. Losses in general are fixed in most realistics possible way, but also estimated in percentage term (according to experience). SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 14
Animal Feed Quantities of product used for direct animal feed and/or for the manufacture of foodstuffs for animals. Data used for calculation: Fodder usage survey. Dynamic from previous years. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 15
Industrial uses Quantities of product used by the industry for the production of products not intended for animal feed or for human consumption, including beer and alcohol industries. Industrial uses in Lithuania: Potatoes starch to produce paper and cartoon. Apples and berries to produce fruit wine. Barley to produce beer. Wheat, rye to produce alcohol. Rape seeds and rape oil to produce biofuel. Triticale to produce bioethanol SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 16
Processing Quantities of product used for the production of a foodstuff for which an individual balance sheet exists. Rape seeds processing for rape oil and oilcakes. Sugar beat processing for sugar. Rape oil proccesing for margarine. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 17
Consumption Quantities of product placed at the disposal of human consumption. It involves the quantities delivered in various forms in all forms (unprocessed, processed, preserved, etc.). The losses and changes of stocks at retail trade level and at consumer level also appered in this item. The main foodstuff consumption fund is estimated from total resources deducting all the product uses. SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 18
