SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 2

Agriculture and environment statistics division compiles Supply balance sheets from 1988.

From year 2000 new methodology was implemented in order to equalize, improve and get comparable with other EU countries supply balance sheets.

From year 2000 SBS is calculated for both: calendar year and crop year.

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 3

Nowadays, the supply balance sheets are compiled for these agricultural products:

cereals (common wheat, durum wheat, rye, barley, oats, maize, triticale, others).

dried pulses ( peas, beans, lupine seeds, others). potatoes (total and for early potatoes and others sorts, potatoes starch). rice (rough, husked, milled, broken rice). sugar (sugar beat, sugar, honey). fats and oils ( rape, flax, olive, sunflower, soya and others). fruits and vegetables (total for apples and pears, fresh and proccesed peaches,

oranges, citrus fruits, grapes, nuts, cauliflower, fresh and processed tomatoes). Wine.

Supply balance sheets

The supply balance sheets which are compiled for calendar year: cereals (common wheat, durum wheat, rye, barley, oats, maize, triticale,

others), dried pulses ( peas, beans, lupine seeds, others), potatoes (total for all potatoes), sugar (sugar), fruits (total for all fruits), vegetables (total all vegetables).

Legal acts and other agreements

The supply balance of wine is produced under the Commission Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 of 26 May 2009, which arises from the Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 of 29 April 2008 on the common organisation of the market in wine.

The supply balances for the other products are supplied to Eurostat in accordance with "gentlemen's agreements" and according to common rules drawn up by a Working Party.

Documentation on methodology

Eurostat has published some handbooks on compiling balance sheets: Crop production. Handbook to compile supply balance sheets (Luxembourg:

Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, 2001) Handbook for compiling supply balance sheets – Wines (Luxembourg: Office

for Official Publications of the European Communities, 2010) Handbooks for every supply balance sheets (Luxembourg: Office for Official

Publications of the European Communities, 2009)

Supply balance sheets

The Supply balance sheets compare resources and uses of a product ( or a group of products) in a reference area (European Union or Member State), over a reference period (calendar year or crop year).

The idea of SBS is to "summarise" data from different sources to show

the various flows and uses of a specific product in a specific reference area over a specific period of time. The data refer to the production, trade and various uses of the product.

www.stat.gov.lt 2012 05 28

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 9

The general scheme for SBS: Resources = Uses

Resources Uses

Usable production Initial stocks Imports

Domestic use: Seeds Losses Animal feed Industrial uses Transformation (processing) Human consumption Exports Final stocks

www.stat.gov.lt 2012 05 28

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 10

Usable production

Usable production includes: Agricultural production at the national holding level; Production on the territory of processed products ( sugar, rape oil).

Data used for calculation: Crop area, production and yield survey. Industrial Statistics division data about processed products production.

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 11

Imports, Exports

The Official Foreign Trade statistics is the source for value and volume of imports and exports covering goods (raw products or processed products) which:

enter or leave the statistical territory of the Community (extra-Community trade),

circulate between the statistical territories of the Member States (intra-Community trade).

www.stat.gov.lt 2012 05 28

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 12

Stocks

initial stock : the quantities unused but stored, on the first day of the reference period and coming from the previous reference period(s).

final stock : the stored quantities existing on the last day of the period. change in stocks corresponds to the level of stocks wherever they are held

during the reference period : final stock - initial stock.

That includes: production stocks, at national agriculture level; market stocks, held by wholesale trade companies, importers and/or

exporters and processing companies; That excludes stocks at retail trade level and at household level.

www.stat.gov.lt 2012 05 28

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 13

Seeds

Quantities of raw product used for the following production cycle. Data used for calculation: Generalized Annual report of financial activity of agricultural companies and

enterprises (data from Ministry of Agriculture) Dynamic with sowing norms from previous years.

www.stat.gov.lt 2012 05 28

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 14

Losses

Losses which have occurred after the delivery of products (at the time of storage, handling, processing), including the quantities withdrawn from the market and made unsuitable for consumption.

Losses in general are fixed in most realistics possible way, but also estimated in percentage term (according to experience).

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 15

Animal Feed

Quantities of product used for direct animal feed and/or for the manufacture of foodstuffs for animals.

Data used for calculation: Fodder usage survey. Dynamic from previous years.

www.stat.gov.lt 2012 05 28

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 16

Industrial uses

Quantities of product used by the industry for the production of products not intended for animal feed or for human consumption, including beer and alcohol industries.

Industrial uses in Lithuania: Potatoes starch to produce paper and cartoon. Apples and berries to produce fruit wine. Barley to produce beer. Wheat, rye to produce alcohol. Rape seeds and rape oil to produce biofuel. Triticale to produce bioethanol

www.stat.gov.lt 2012 05 28

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 17

Processing

Quantities of product used for the production of a foodstuff for which an individual balance sheet exists.

Rape seeds processing for rape oil and oilcakes. Sugar beat processing for sugar. Rape oil proccesing for margarine.

www.stat.gov.lt 2012 05 28

SUPPLY BALANCE SHEETS 18

Consumption

Quantities of product placed at the disposal of human consumption. It involves the quantities delivered in various forms in all forms (unprocessed, processed, preserved, etc.). The losses and changes of stocks at retail trade level and at consumer level also appered in this item.

The main foodstuff consumption fund is estimated from total resources deducting

all the product uses.
