Tables

This dataset is a complement to the "Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2019" publication. It shows estimates of agricultural support for OECD countries as well as some non-member economies. These summary tables, designed specifically to monitor and evaluate the level and composition of agricultural policy support, focus on:

- Producer Support Estimate (PSE), representing transfers granted to producers individually;

- General Service Support Estimate (GSSE), representing transfers granted to producers collectively, i.e. services that benefit agriculture but whose initial incidence is not at the level of individual farmers;

- Consumer Support Estimate (CSE), representing transfers granted to consumers. The CSE is almost always negative because transfers from consumers due to market price support policies outweigh any consumption subsidies from taxpayers that might be granted to consumers.

- Total Support Estimate (TSE), representing the sum of the three above-mentioned components, adjusted for double-counting given that some market price transfers are accounted for in both the PSE and CSE.

The value of those transfers are further analyzed by looking at their relative share in agricultural support, in agricultural economy and in the economy as a whole, together with other indicators such as Nominal Assistance Coefficient (NAC) and Nominal Protection Coefficient (NPC).

This dataset and predefined summary tables are a complement to the report Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2019, which monitors agricultural policy developments in OECD member countries as well as other EU member states and emerging economies.

The OECD uses a comprehensive system for measuring and classifying support to agriculture - the Producer and Consumer Support Estimates (PSEs and CSEs) and related indicators. They provide insight into the increasingly complex nature of agricultural policy and serve as a basis for OECD’s work on agricultural policies.

The OECD database of Agri-environmental Indicators provides the latest and most comprehensive set of agri-environmental indicators (AEIs) across 35 OECD countries and UE countries (plus Norway and Switzerland) from 1990 to 2015. This database builds from OECD questionnaire and the close collaboration with Eurostat. Eurostat is in charge of the data collection statistics for EU countries plus Norway and Switzerland. The OECD Secretariat collects data for non-EU OECD countries on the basis of the OECD Agri-environmental Indicators questionnaire.

This dataset provides the latest and most comprehensive data across OECD countries on agricultural nutrient balances. The gross nutrient balances (N and P) are calculated as the difference between the total quantity of nutrient inputs entering an agricultural system (mainly fertilisers, livestock manure), and the quantity of nutrient outputs leaving the system (mainly uptake of nutrients by crops and grassland). Gross nutrient balances are expressed in tonnes of nutrient surplus (when positive) or deficit (when negative). This calculation can be used as a proxy to reveal the status of environmental pressures, such as declining soil fertility in the case of a nutrient deficit, or for a nutrient surplus the risk of polluting soil, water and air. The nutrient balance indicator is also expressed in terms of kilogrammes of nutrient surplus per hectare of agricultural land to facilitate the comparison of the relative intensity of nutrients in agricultural systems between countries.

This dataset presents statistics on employment in fisheries: number of persons, male and female, employed full-time and part-time, in each subsector of the fisheries.

This dataset presents information on fisheries policies. It is designed to monitor and quantify developments in fisheries policy, to establish a common basis for policy dialogue among countries, and to provide economic data to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of policies. The dataset report country programmes data aggregated according to the main indicators presented in the Fisheries Support Estimate Manual.

This dataset presents statistics on fishing fleet: gross tonnage and number of vessels, with and without engine, depending on vessel length.

This dataset presents statistics on inland fisheries: in tonnes and national currency.

The concept of landings refers to the quantities of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates (and animals), residues and seaweeds on a landed weight basis, i.e. the mass (or weight) of a product at the time of landing, regardless of the state in which is landed (i.e. whole, gutted, filleted, meal, etc.).

This fisheries dataset presents statistics on aquaculture production: in tonnes, national currency and US dollars, for all sorts of fish, shellfish, etc.

This dataset presents the share of Research and Development expenditures on total Government Financial Transfers. Fisheries Research and Development expenditures are budgetary expenditures that finance research and development activities related to fisheries, irrespective of the institution (private or public, ministry, university, research centre or fisher group) or where they take place, the nature of research (scientific, institutional, etc.), or its purpose. The focus is on Research and Development expenditures on applied research related to the fisheries sector. Social-sciences research related to fisheries is included. Data dissemination when associated primarily with research and development (knowledge generation), e.g. reports from research and databases developed as an adjunct to research, also belongs to this sub-category.

This dataset presents statistics on trade by product: imports and exports in tonnes and US dollars, for all sorts of fish, shellfish, etc. and all types of processing. Classification is according the Harmonised System (HS, i.e. harmonized commodity description and coding system of the World Customs Organization).

This OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook includes projections for the period 2019-2028. In most cases the data go back to 1970 and cover up to the latest year of projection. The dataset contains projections on the agriculture market and commodities such as cereals, oilseeds, dairy products, cotton and more. It includes statistics on the trade side including data on production and output, prices, trade balance, ending stocks, consumption, transformation, etc. For most of the commodity markets analysed in the Agricultural Outlook, domestic and international commodity prices are also available. In most cases the data go back to 1970 and cover up to the latest year of projection.

This dataset provides the number of co-inventions (simple patent families) developed jointly by at least two inventors. This indicator is disaggregated by:

  • Inventor country: country of residence of the inventor(s), integral counted;
  • Variables: total number of co-inventions, and percentage of co-inventions developed within-country (all inventors from the same country), with foreign inventors, with inventors only from OECD countries, and with at least one inventor from BRIICS countries.
  • Technology domain: Harvesting technology / Aquaculture technology / New products and markets

This dataset provides the number of co-inventions (simple patent families) developed jointly by at least two inventors. This indicator is disaggregated by:

  • Inventor country: country of residence of the inventor(s), integral counted; in cases when inventors from more than two countries collaborate, this is translated into distinct bilateral relationships between country pairs. For example, if inventors from 3 countries collaborate (e.g. USA, DEU, JPN) then a unit count is assigned to 3 country pairs (USA-DEU, DEU-JPN, JPN-USA); in this case a country generally coordinate the project and the others are partners.
  • Partner country: country of residence of the inventor(s) who collaborate to the patent.
  • Technology domain: Harvesting technology / Aquaculture technology / New products and markets

This dataset provides the number of inventions (simple patent families) developed by country's inventors, independent of the jurisdictions where patent protection is sought (i.e. all known patent families worldwide are considered). The indicator is disaggregated by:

  • Inventor country, fractional counted; e.g. for a patent listing inventors from two different countries, each country will obtain a count of 0.5, to avoid double-counting of inventions;
  • Family size: the number of countries where the patent application has been filed. Family size "1 and greater" means that the invention is protected in at least one country and as such this category includes all patents, many of them protecting low-value inventions, for which data are available worldwide. Family size "2 and greater" will count inventions that have sought patent protection in at least two countries, and so on.
  • Technology domain: Harvesting technology / Aquaculture technology / New products and markets

This dataset provides the number of inventions that seek patent protection through national, regional or international routes (equivalents of the priority application, pertaining to the same simple patent family) in a given jurisdiction. It shows the extent to which firms and individuals seek to "protect" the relevant markets for their inventions (including both domestic and foreign inventions). The indicator is disaggregated by:

  • Patent office: integer counts of patent applications deposited in different geographic jurisdictions (national and regional application authorities);
  • Coverage: proportion of months in a year with at least one patent document deposited at the patent office. It allows displaying statistics based on all available data ("full dataset, with no restriction on coverage") or only for offices with data availability above a certain threshold (90%) in a given year ("conservative coverage"). While for most OECD countries data availability is complete, this distinction might be important particularly for some non-OECD countries. The geographical scope of protection reflects the market coverage of an invention: the higher the number of countries in which protection has been sought, the greater the potential for commercialisation and profit.
