The information requested by the Deputy is shown in the following table:
| Year | Index of volume of agricultural output (Base 1995=100) | Value of agricultural output (euro million) |
| 1998 | 102.7 | 4,662.0 |
| 1999 | 103.5 | 4,602.5 |
| 2000 | 101.6 | 4,764.0 |
| 2001 | 104.0 | 4,963.0 |
| 2002 | 98.9 | 4,581.7 |
| 2003(p) | 103.6 | 4,730.6 |
| (p) Preliminary. |
The figures relate to agricultural output at farm-gate prices. This reflects the output value received by the farmer and does not include subsidies — less taxes — or the value of contract work carried out by the agricultural contracting industry.
