Statistical publications “FADN survey results” are annually published since 1996. The publication of 2018 is based on accountancy data from 1300 family farms and 32 agricultural companies (AC). Selected farms cover all districts, natural zones and reflect different farming conditions. After the EU accession in 2004 Lithuania usually delivers data of 1000–1150 farms to the EU Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). Lithuanian economic size threshold for FADN survey is 4 thousand Euro.
