1993 SNA Update Information - Country comments for issue:
Cultivated assets

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
During discussions about the System of Economic and Environmental Accounts, it was noted that the present definition of cultivated assets in the SNA is ambiguous. Should the definition in the SNA be tightened as follows: “cultivated assets cover livestock for breeding, dairy, draught, etc. and vineyards, orchards and other trees yielding repeat products whose natural growth and regeneration is under the direct control, responsibility and management of institutional units”? The words in italics replace the words “that are” in the 1993 SNA.
