The provisional accounts by type of farming for 1999
Primeur N° 67
General decrease of the agricultural income
In 1999, the average decrease in prices of agricultural products homogeneously affects all types of farming. That results in a general decline in added value and the average income. The strongest decrease is expected among field cropping holdings. The income of animal farms is in relatively moderate decrease, but the crisis of granivore industry remains. Only the income of standard viticulture is progressing, thanks to an increased crop.
