Blueberry (covered) - economic indicators

Description

Estimates of the Adjusted Production, Revenue, Expenses, Operating Profit, Labour, and regional flow on impacts (GDP, Household income, and Labour) associated with a land use in a location.

These are based on the Plant and Food Research (PFR) estimates of crop suitability and production.

Note: Update expected mid 2023

Methodology

Data provided by Agribusiness Group Ltd (ABG).

The average of Plant and Food Research (PFR) yield for the top 10% of locations was used as a ratio of the ABG single point yield estimate to scale the PFR yield in each location.

This adjusted yield was used to estimated revenue, variable expenses and variable labour requirements for each location. From these the total revenue, expenses, operating profit and on farm labour costs were calculated. FTE per 10 ha was calculated using a standard cost of $52,345/FTE.

These data points were used to generate estimates of direct (on farm) gross domestic product (GDP), household income (HHI), and employment (FTE per 10 ha). Multipliers from a regional IO table were used to calculate the indirect and induced effects of the expenditure and houshold income, which was added to the direct estimates to generate a Total GDP, Total HHI, and Total FTE/10 ha.
