Statistical presentation | ||
Data description | The National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria has provided Eurostat with annual data on the prices of agricultural land transactions and rent payment in agriculture since 2000. The grant in 2011 aimed at the development of comparable statistical data according to the Target Methodology and envisaged to set up the improved national data collection system and to ensure data quality by introducing new tools for data collection and data checks in order to meet users' needs and access to the data. The three years period for observation (2010, 2011 and 2012) has been selected, moreover the 2012 information was collected on the quarterly bases. After the completion of the project, the NSI continued to develop this statistical information and providing data to Eurostat on a regular basis. Within the survey data for the next variables are collected: • Number of contracts for land lease; • Total land lease by the observed unit in the reference period; • Renting price per unit of area. | |
Classification system | For data compilation next classifications are used: • Classification of Territorial units for Statistics in Bulgaria (NUTS) • Classification of observed Land use categories • Classification of Economic Activities in Bulgaria (NACE, Rev. 2) • National Register of Populated places in Bulgaria | |
Sector coverage | Data on the rental price of agricultural land are collected from two groups of respondents: • Agricultural holdings, renting agricultural land for development of their economic activity (NACE code 01) • Land transactions companies established according to the National legislation specially to carry out operations (purchase, sale and rental) of agricultural land (NACE code 6810 and 6820) Only those contracts for renting of agricultural land where its purpose for agricultural production is not changed are taken into account. | |
Statistical concepts and definitions | 1. Definition of the price of rent in agriculture Rents correspond to payments made to the owner of land in return for him making assets available to another physical person/legal person/legal entity. In practice, this means the actual rent price agreed upon by the transactors including the value of related levies/taxes and including payments in kind valuated at the current year price. No distinction is made taking into consideration the duration of the renting contract/agreement and the time for contracting. Therefore, all rents for land (even if the land is rented for more than one year) should be taken into account for the calculation of average rent. The rental price of agricultural land should: • exclude the entitlements related to the land; • exclude deductible VAT; • exclude the rentals of buildings or dwellings situated on it and any other expenses related to other assets except the agricultural land (current maintenance expenditure on buildings, buildings insurance, depreciation of buildings, rents paid for the professional use of nonresidential buildings etc.). 2. Observed land use categories • Arable land - land worked (ploughed or tilled) regularly, generally under a system of crop rotation (as defined for the latest Farm Structure Survey). • irrigable arable land – arable land area which could, if necessary, be irrigated in the reference year using the equipment and the quantity of water normally accessible • non-irrigable arable land - arable land area which cannot be irrigated due to the lack of access to water for irrigation • Permanent grassland - land used permanently (for five years or more) to grow herbaceous forage crops, through cultivation (sown) or naturally (self-seeded) and which is not included in crop rotation. According to the data from the Farm Structure Survey the irrigable land represented non-significant part of the total UAA in Bulgaria and thus in compliance with the Common Methodology the breakdown of the average price of land transactions by two subcategories of arable land (the irrigable and non-irrigable) was not carried out. | |
Statistical unit | 1. Reporting units: Data on the sale price of agricultural land are collected from three main groups of respondents operating on the agricultural land market: • Agricultural holdings, buying agricultural land for development of their economic activity (NACE code 01) • Land transactions companies established according to the National legislation specially to carry out operations (purchase, sale and rental) of agricultural land (NACE code 6810 and 6820) 2. Observation unit The observation unit is the price of 1 decar of agricultural land or rented. Prices per unit of rented agricultural land in National Currency | |
Statistical population | · The statistical population of the agricultural holdings is defined on the base of information of Annual Report of Agricultural holdings were data on rental payments is collected. · For the Land transactions companies the statistical population is defined on the base of information on reported value of changes in the fixed assets during the calendar year in the Annual Report of Consolidated Annual Activity Report of Specialized Investment Firms. All units above a certain value threshold are included in the monitoring.

Confidentiality | ||
Confidentiality - policy | • Law on Statistics: https://www.nsi.bg/en/node/218/; • Regulation (EC) 223/2009 on European statistics (recital 24 and Article 20 (4)) of 11 March 2009 (OJ L 87, p 164) foresee that for that purpose it is necessary to establish common principles and guidelines, ensuring data confidentiality of data used for production of European Statistics and access to those confidential data with account for technical developments and requirements of users in democratic society. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:087:0164:0173:EN:PDF | |
Confidentiality - data treatment | Individual data shall not be published, observing art. 25 of the Law on Statistics. The dissemination of individual data is made only under Art. 26 of the Law on Statistics. Problems with the confidentiality of data arise at lower geographic levels and for smaller categories of land, where in some cases there are separate transactions or renting of agricultural land. In this case, the data is aggregated at the higher geographic level. | |
Release policy | ||
Release calendar | The schedule for dissemination of statistical information from the survey on agricultural land prices and rents is published in the Release Calendar presenting the results of the statistical surveys carried out by the NSI. | |
Release calendar access | The Calendar is available on the NSI website: https://www.nsi.bg/en/node/480 | |
User access | Data are published in compliance with the Chapter 5 of the Law on Statistics and European Statistics Code of Practice, considering professional independence and with aim of impartiality and transparency, where all users are treated equal. | |

Relevance | ||
User needs | The main user of data is the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. Data are also provided to the business and to citizens. | |
User satisfaction | The survey of user’s satisfaction is not conducted. | |
Completeness | All required data sets, including data at regional level are reported to Eurostat. Data on irrigated and non-irrigated land are not compiled as far non-irrigated land is below as percentage of total agricultural land as the Common Methodology requires. | |
Accuracy and reliability | ||
Overall accuracy | The accuracy of data is achieved by ensuring a satisfactory range in the selection of respondents, development of reliable statistical tools, including IT environment for data collection, data control and data editing through elimination of extreme values and methodological instructions for survey implementation. Lease contracts for permanent grassland are limited in Bulgaria. The permanent grass land, for the most part, are owned by the municipalities and are used for free grazing of animals (in the majority of cases). The large differences in the reported prices of the lease contracts for permanent grass areas from year to year are usually due to their small number for small areas. | |
Sampling error | Not applicable. | |
Non-sampling error | Non-response rate is calculated. | |
Timeliness and punctuality | ||
Timeliness | Data from the Survey on agricultural land prices and rents in agriculture are published according to the Release Calendar of the results of NSI statistical surveys. Data were first published on 24.04.2017. | |
Punctuality | No delays have been made with regard to deadlines for sending Eurostat data and to timetable in the Calendar for submission of the results of statistical surveys conducted by the NSI. | |
Coherence and comparability | ||
Comparability - geographical | The data are geographically comparable for the entire period for which they are available. | |
Comparability - over time | The data are comparable in time for the period after 2010. | |
Coherence - cross domain | Comparisons are made with the data from the Survey on the structure of agricultural holdings (Census of agricultural holdings), comparing the estimated data in the structural observations at regional and national level with the data on rented/leased agricultural land for the observed land use categories. Consistency with other statistical areas has not been studied. | |
Coherence - internal | The internal coherence of data is ensured by using the same definitions, classifications, and methods of observation. | |
Cost and burden | ||
The budget (financial resources) needed for the implementation of survey is published in the National Statistical Program on the NSI website. In order to reduce the burden on respondents, an electronic off-line questionnaire containing logical controls is used.
| ||
Data revision | ||
Data revision - policy | According to the established policy, data revisions are made when the methodology, the classifications and definitions used are changed. | |
Data revision - practice | So far not data revision has been performed. The Farm Structure Surveys are carried out over a certain period of time (usually three years) and as far as land data are used as weights for weighing agricultural land prices and rents, for some of the years in the period it is necessary to recalculate the average prices, once the data on the areas by category of land are available. | |
Statistical processing | ||
Source data | Direct observation trough implementation of statistical survey. | |
Frequency of data collection | Annual. The National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria has provided Eurostat with annual data on the prices of agricultural land transactions since 2010. | |
Data collection | The data are collected via an electronic offline questionnaire, which is sent to the respondent by e-mail. The questionnaire is also available on the NSI's website, where it can be downloaded from the respondents or experts from the Regional Offices, for subsequent filling in the required information. After filling in the data by the respondent, the questionnaire is returned by e-mail to a special address of the Regional Statistical Office, in the territory in which it operates. Each regional statistical office is responsible for collecting information from respondents on its territory. Experts at the Regional Offices are required to review the completeness and correctness of information received from respondents. Errors discovered are communicated to the respondents and are required to send correct information from them. | |
Data validation | The validation of data in the process of statistical processing is done by means of specially developed software. The development of the software is in accordance with a technical specification written by the responsible experts for conducting the statistical survey. The validation of the data is done at two levels: at the regional level - by the experts in RSOs and nationally - by the NSI experts. | |
