The library contains technical and economic fact sheets covering eight sectors in agriculture and agrifoods: • Cash crops • Horticulture • Forestry • Livestock production • Soil stewardship • Insects and diseases • Agricultural Engineering • Agricultural Economics Among the fact sheets, we can find operating budgets and budgets by hectare. To develop these budgets, several related data analysis are collected. This translates by sale price compilations, input prices, crop yields and asset costs. Finally, the collection is enhanced by various other documents including comparative analysis and a variety of technical and economic information.

Abstract:
This presentation provides an overview of what constitutes the Economic References, and the reasons
why the financial and management advisors and others stakeholders may be concerned by the product.
First, a description of the content of the fact sheets collection based on dynamic examples will allow
people to be informed as to the content. We will discover among others the new online service
« Monitoring Tool on input prices» which will allows a quick and easy access to large amount of updated
information and gain in autonomy in the development of budgets.
With several types of products gathered in a single location, it is easy to analyze the trends in price
changes. We will discuss thereafter methodology and ways to establish the references.
Finally, a section on current users explains how we respond to their needs.
The objective of the presentation is to aim to the forefront the way we work to establish these
references while hoping to make it transferable for congress customers.
