4.
Agricultural products
are represented by crops products and animal products
5.
Arable land
is land plots that are systematically cultivated and used for crop sowing, including perennial grass, as well as pure fallows, areas of hotbeds and greenhouses. The arable land does not include hayfields and pastures cultivated for their amelioration and used continuously under herbage forage crops for haymaking and grazing, as well as the garden inter-rows used for crops.

is the area of gardens, berry fields, vineyards and other perennial plantations, which have reached the fruitful age
7.
Area of perennial plantations
is the area of isolated gardens, berry fields, vineyards and other perennial plantations, as well as the area under trees and bushes that grow individually regardless of the plantations’age.
8.
Cereals and pulse crops
are crops the main products of which are grain. According to the type of products received and their designation a subgroup of food crops is singled out, which includes grain crops (wheat, rye) and cereals (buckwheat, millet, rice), and a subgroup of fodder, which includes barley, oats, grain maize, and pulse crops. The sizes of such crops as wheat, rye, and barley, depending on the biological features due to sowing time, are accounted as winter crops sown in the fall and harvested next year and spring crops sown in the spring and harvested in the same year
9.
Crop yields
is the average amount of certain plant production obtained from a unit of the actual area harvested calculated as the ratio of gross yield from the main, repeated and inter-row crops and the actual area of this crop being harvested.
10.
Crops
are grain, technical (oilseed, essential oil, textile, medicinal, etc.), potato, vegetable, fodder, flower, fruit, berry plants, grapes used in agricultural production
11.
Eggs production
is the total number of eggs obtained from all kinds of poultry, including those lost due to the creaking, being off, etc., as well as used to obtain young stock (incubation) by sitting hen or in the incubator.
12.
Fallow land
arable land left for two or more year unploughed after harvesting to restore its fertility
13.
Fodder crops
are crops the products of which are used for feeding farm animals, they are accounted in the following subgroups: feeding root crops (fodder beet, baga, turnip, etc.); silage crops (except for corn) - sunflower, beans, etc.; fodder cucurbits (pumpkin); non-perennial herbs (vetch, sorghum, etc.); perennial grasses (clover, alfalfa, timothy, etc.).
14.
Gross agricultural production
is monetary value of crop and animal products produced over a certain period of time. Includes products of agricultural origin consumed in the process of production along with commodity products intended for sale, namely seeds and fodder, as well as work related to the crop cultivation of the coming year. Agricultural products do not include forest plantations cultivation, products of fishery and fish farming, industrial products (even if they are made by agricultural enterprises, for instance, butter, oil, cheese, canned food, etc.) and slaughter products (meat, skins).
15.
Gross animal production
is the cost of breeding livestock and poultry, the raw products cost derived from breeding and commercial use of livestock animals (milk, wool, eggs, honey, etc.)
16.
Gross crop production
is the raw products cost derived from the crop of the current year, the cost of growing young perennial plantations and the change in the cost of unfinished plant production in the reporting year.
17.
Gross production of fruit crops, grapes
is the total amount of products harvested from perennial plantings regardless of their age, in volume terms.
18.
Gross production of main crops
is the total amount of products of non-perennial and biannual crops harvested from basic, repeated, inter-row sowing. Production of grain and pulse crops, sunflower seeds during the harvesting period is given in the initially received weight (crops weight after harvesting), for the year in total – in the post-processing weight (initially received weight of crops excluding unused waste (post-harvest processing losses: clearing of the weeds and straw particles, pods and other impurities) and losses at drying (bringing the grain to the basic conditions)).
19.
Industrial crops
are crops, the products of which are mainly intended for industrial processing. The following subgroups are singled out according to the type of products received, and the nature of their use: textile (cotton, fiber flax, southern hemp); spices and special technical crops (sugar beet, tobacco, wild tobacco, hops, etc.); oilseeds (sunflower, crown flax, soybeans, mustard, rape, etc.); essential oil (caraway, mint, coriander, etc.); medicinal (belladonna, etc.), and other plants used mainly in perfumery, pharmaceuticals or as insecticides, fungicides, etc.; energy plants.
20.
Meadow (hayfield)
are agricultural lands systematically used for haymaking
21.
Meat production
is the total slaughter mass (meat, raw fat, edible offal) of farm animals obtained both during the sale for slaughter (product slaughter) and at internal slaughter of animals for meat, regardless of the place the slaughter was done: directly at the enterprise.
22.
Milk production
is the total amount of actually obtained milk from cows, buffalo cows, sheep, female goats and horses, and other females of farm animals
23.
Number of farm animals
is the indicator characterizing the presence of certain species of farm animals (in general or by class groups) as of the reporting date
24.
Pasture
are agricultural lands systematically used for cattle grazing
25.
Perennial agricultural plantation
is agricultural land used for artificially created tree, bush or grass perennial plantations intended for production of fruit and berry, technical and medicinal products, as well as for territories’ decoration. Perennial plantations includes: garden, vineyard, berry field, fruit-tree nursery, plantations, etc
26.
Potato and vegetable-cucurbit crops
are early and late potatoes; vegetables of all kinds (open and covered soil), food cucurbits (water melons, melons) intended for both food purposes and for industrial processing
27.
Profitability level of all types of activity
activity is
the relation of net profits (losses) to all expenditures of the operating agricultural enterprise.
28.
Profitability level of an agricultural produce
is the relation of net profits (losses) from sales of agricultural produce to its total cost value.
29.
Profitability level of the operating activity
is the ratio of net financial results of the operating
activity to expenditures related to the operating
activity of enterprises.
30.
Sown area (crop area)
is a part of arable land or other cultivated land actually occupied by crops for the current year. The crop area takes into account the areas under winter crops that were sown in the fall of the previous year and survived up to the end of spring sowing; spring crops on separate area, including re-sowing of the areas with the deteriorated winter crops and areas with the deteriorated spring crops that have not been re-sown; open perennial grass sown in the previous and current years, including sowing in the fall of the previous year; in the garden spacing
