The economic accounts for agriculture (EAA) provide macroeconomic figures on the economic situation in agriculture. Based on a sequence of interrelated accounts and tables, they describe the production process and generation of primary income by economic activity in agriculture. Information on capital formation is also recorded. The EAA are a satellite account of national accounts providing complementary information on the agricultural industry to whose particular nature their concepts are adapted. Agricultural and other statistical data of Statistics Austria as well as data of external institutions are used to calculate the EAA.
