Question:54 Mr. Gregory asked the Taoiseach the total value of farm income in each year since 1986.
Written Answers. - Value of Farm Income.
Annual estimates of the aggregate income from self-employment and other trading income of agricultural producers for the years 1986 to 1993 inclusive are given in the table below. The estimates are taken from the CSO's annual macroeconomic estimates of agricultural output, input and income. They represent the total amounts available to remunerate farmers, members of their families and other agricultural producers for their labour and management input and to cover interest on borrowed capital. Thus interest payments on borrowings for productive purposes are not deducted in arriving at this measure.
