[S] - Estimate of crop, flower and pot plant production and area
Description
Statistics are produced using expert information. Data are provided by local authorities that collect experts evaluations on area and yield of different crops.
The auxiliary information could be included in expert's estimate, such as verifying the availability of external sources (eg professional bodies or associations of producers, administrative sources, auxiliary sources of data related to the cultivation being estimated).
Crops under investigation are different for each month and take into account the phenological stage of cultivation. For this reason more than one estimate can be determined for each crop during the year (provisional, temporary or permanent).The survey calendar is established in the Istat-Mipaaf-Regions Memorandum of Understanding.
