Economic accounts for agriculture - estimates 2011
2011: agriculture sees good harvests tempered by pressure on prices
Neuchâtel, 03.10.2011 (FSO) - According to initial estimates, income in the Swiss agricultural sector rose by 2.8% in 2011 compared with the previous year, after having recorded consecutive losses in 2009 and 2010. This upturn is due to various factors. The increase in the volumes produced and in direct payments was offset by the continued decline in agricultural prices. However, reduced depreciation eased the burden of agricultural production costs in Switzerland. These findings are based on the economic accounts for agriculture compiled by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
