  1. 01Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities

    This division includes two basic activities, namely the production of crop products and the production of animal products.

    Mixed farming (group 01.5) breaks with the usual principles for identifying the main activity. It accepts that many agricultural units have a reasonably balanced production of crops and animals, and that it would be arbitrary to classify them in one category or the other.

    This division includes the soilless cultivation of crops, such as using hydroponic and aquaponic methods.

    The term 'aquaponics' cannot be automatically assimilated to division 01 or division 03 because they generate two different products: plants (division 01) and fishes (division 03). Therefore for the classification of aquaponics, the value added principle should be applied.

    On the contrary, growing of crops by conventional techniques are also considered to be those where the plant is raised in containers and not on the land.

    This division also includes service activities incidental to agriculture, as well as hunting, trapping and related activities.

    Agricultural activities exclude any subsequent processing of the agricultural products (classified under divisions 10, 11 and 12), beyond that needed to prepare them for the primary markets. The preparation of products for the primary markets is included here.

    Excludes

    • field construction (for example, agricultural land terracing, drainage, preparing rice paddies), see section FF
    • activities of buyers and cooperative associations engaged in the marketing of farm products, see section GG
    • landscape service activities, see 81.3081.30

    Implementation rule

    • In agriculture, one frequent situation where the breakdown of the value added presents difficulties is when a unit manufactures a product from its own agricultural output.
    • For example when a unit produces grapes and manufactures wine from the own-produced grapes, or when it produces olives and manufactures oil from the own-produced olives. In these cases the most suitable proxy variable is the number of hours worked.
    • Applying this variable to these vertically integrated activities would generally lead to the classification of the units under agriculture. In the same case for other agricultural products, units will be classified in agriculture by convention, in order to guarantee harmonised treatment.
