Measuring the scope of agri-food sector based on Input/Output tables of national economy

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Assessing the importance of the agri-food sector based on its share on GDP and employment could be misleading as in the developed countries those shares are low and are continually declining. Besides, GDP and jobs are created also in related sectors. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to assess the real scope of agri-food sector in the Czech Republic (CR) with regard to employment and simulate the impacts of possible decrease of agricultural production. The article is based on Input /Output table of inter-sectoral relations in national economy. It is assumed that agriculture generates the employment in customer's sectors in the same relations as it generates the GDP there; similarly a part of employment in supply sectors exists thanks to agriculture sector. In 2013 the share of agriculture on GDP of the CR was only 2.49%, although after including upstream and downstream sectors it increased to 5.49%. Share of agri-food sector reached 12.61%. Despite that agriculture contributed to total employment by 2.62% in 2013, after including estimated employment in upstream and downstream sectors the share was 6.29%. Share of agri-food sector is much higher (13.83%). Decrease of the scope of agriculture by 5%, would reduce the jobs in agri-food sector by 2 894, decrease of 10% by 5 788 and decrease of 30% even by 17 358. The importance of agriculture is obvious, which should not be neglected during formulation of agrarian policy measures.
