-
Name
-
Volume of production per labour unit by classes of farming/pastoral/ forestry enterprise size
-
Indicator purpose
-
The purpose of this indicator is to offer a complete breakdown of who small-scale producers are, what they earn and how much they produce; works with indicator 2.3.2.
-
Abstract
-
The indicator refers to the value of production per labour unit operated by small scale producers in the farming, pastoral and forestry sectors. The indicator is computed as a ratio of annual output to the number of working days in one year.

Other characteristics

- FAO proposes to define small-scale food producers as producers who operate an amount of land falling in the first two quintiles (the bottom 40 percent) of the cumulative distribution of land size at national level (measured in hectares); and operate a number of livestock falling in the first two quintiles (the bottom 40 percent) of the cumulative distribution of the number of livestock per production unit at national level (measured in Tropical Livestock Units – TLUs); and obtain an annual economic revenue from agricultural activities falling in the first two quintiles (the bottom 40 percent) of the cumulative distribution of economic revenues from agricultural activities per production unit at national level (measured in Purchasing Power Parity Dollars) not exceeding 34,387 Purchasing Power Parity Dollars.
- Small-scale food producers are defined as those falling in the intersection of the bottom 40 percent of the cumulative distribution of land, livestock and revenues.
- Tropical Livestock Units are a conversion scale used for standardization and measurement of the number of livestock heads.

-
Recommended uses
-
By tracking the volume of production per labour unit by classes of farming/pastoral/forestry enterprise size, data collected for this indicator would enable governments to shape, prioritize, and invest in policies and measures that effectively boost agricultural productivity, drive economic growth, and eliminate hunger in particular for small-scale food producers.
-
Limitations
-
A major limitation is data availability.
