Available indicator

Volume of production per labour unit by enterprise size
Target

2.3 By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment
Goal

2- End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
Definition

Total production of crops and derivatives, livestock, livestock products, and other production of agricultural holdings, whether small or large, expressed per Annual Work Unit (AWU).

An agricultural holding is considered small when it meets both conditions:

  • It operates an amount of land that falls within the first two quintiles (the bottom 40%) of the cumulative distribution of land size at the level of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (measured in hectares).
  • Obtains an annual income from agricultural activities that falls within the first two quintiles (the bottom 40%) of the cumulative distribution of agricultural income per unit of production at the level of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.

If an agricultural holding does not meet any of these conditions, it is considered large.
Theoretical formula \[PUT^{t} = \frac{SE131^{t}}{SE010^{t}}\]

where:

$SE131^{t}$ = Total production of crops and derivatives, livestock, livestock products, and other production from agricultural holdings (small or large) in the year $t$

$SE010^{t}$ = Total labor force on agricultural holdings (small or large) in the year $t$, expressed in Annual Work Units (AWU), where 1 AWU is equivalent to one person working full-time for one year.

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda has emphasized the importance of enhancing productivity of small-scale food producers, as these producers play an important role in the global production of food. The indicator monitors progress in this area, where the target is to double productivity by year 2030.

The enhancement of labour productivity in small-scale production units also has implications on poverty reduction, as small-scale food producers are often poor, and are frequently found to be close to subsistence conditions.
