Agricultural areas and livestock are evaluated using coefficients to calculate standard gross output. These coefficients are the result of mean values calculated over the period 2005 to 2009. Standard gross output describes the output potential of farms; according to their economic dimension, they are then classified as «medium and large operations» when this output is higher than or equal to 25,000 euros, and «large operations» when it is higher than 100,000 euros.
The contribution of each surface area or herd to standard gross output also allows the farm to be classified according to specialisation (farming type).
