The agricultural producer price index is used to measure changes in prices received by farmers in return for the products they deliver, at a stage as close as possible to the farm's exit.
It is based on the monthly prices of a sample of representative transactions. The structure in production value corresponds to the year 2015. It is currently calculated for 158 products and 46 grouping of products.

It is also used in the Economic Accounts for Agriculture (EAA).

The agricultural producer price index (IPPAP) has been calculated since 1949.
