  • AGRICULTURAL HOLDING:  Technical-economic unit that uses common production factors such as labour, machinery, facilities, land, among others, fulfilling the following four conditions: 1) yield agricultural products or maintain, in good agricultural and environmental conditions, the lands that are no longer used for productive purposes; 2) reach or exceed a certain size (in area or number of animals); 3) be subject to a single management; 4) be located in a well-defined and identifiable area.
  • AGRICULTURAL HOLDING TYPE OF FARMING:  Characteristic of the agricultural holding which is determined by the type of its production system and defined by the relative contribution of the standard outputs of the different activities to the total standard output, according to three levels: general FT (9), principal FT (21) and special FT (62).
  • ANNUAL WORK UNIT (A.W.U.):  A unit of measure corresponding to the work performed by 1 person on a full-time basis over a year, measured in hours (1 AWU = 240 working days of 8 hours each).
  • REGULAR WORKER:  Person who carried out work on the holding during the agricultural year on regular basis, i. e., every day, a few days a week or a few days a month.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
