Abstract

Agricultural economics and policy planning make use of – and rely on – agricultural statistics. Individual agricultural firms, as they are represented in statistical systems, are usually treated as independent economic decision-makers. Our paper is investigating the impacts of holding structures on statistical and economic parameters. Therefore, the paper will draw on empirical evidence which was generated in a local case study in seven communities in the Northeast of Germany. It is argued that cross-regional investors systematically ’assemble‘ agriholdings based on their overall business strategy. If large holding structures exist, the individual business perspective may create a flawed representation of farm structures.
