D3 Data consistency
What consideration has been given to making data item definitions consistent between repeats of this survey or across other surveys? (D3)
As far as possible, consistent data item definitions are used between repeats of this survey. However, statistics from the Apples and Pears collection are related to BUT are not comparable with those collected in the Agricultural Census/Survey (AS).
The Apple and Pear collection is conducted as a separate but complementary collection to the Agricultural Census / Survey but its scope has been enlarged to encompass all establishments that undertake this activity regardless of the relative size of their Estimated Value of Agricultural Operations (EVAO).
The scope of the Agricultural Census/Survey has changed over the years:
- 1993-94 onwards Change in EVAO level to $5,000 and over.
- 1991-92 Change in EVAO level to $22,500 and over.
- 1986-87 Change in EVAO level to $20,000 and over.
- 1982-83 Change in EVAO level to $2,500 and over.
Prior to this, EVAO level was $1,500 and over.
Estimates of production from the Apples and Pears collection are used to derive Value of Agricultural Commodities Produced (VACP) data.
Related statistics can be found in the following publications:
- 7501.0 Value of Principal Agricultural Commodities Produced, Australia Preliminary.
