Methodological explanations
The aim of the survey is the calculation of input price indices in agriculture. Data have been collected since 2012,while price indices have been published since 2014
Data are published 45 days after the end of the quarter, in the edition Statistical Release, with the mark CN43, and they are also presented on the website of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (https://www.stat.gov.rs/en-US/oblasti/cene/proizvodjacke-cene)
Starting from 1999 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has not at disposal and may not provide available certain data relative to Kosovo and Metohia and therefore these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia (total).
