In the European Union, there are many farms of different types, a situation that is difficult to analyze in terms of structural characteristics and economic results. Therefore an appropriate Community classification of farms has been developed. This classification or "typology" is based on Commission Decision 85/377/EEC of 7 June 1985, which has been amended several times. The typology may be applied to data from the Farm Structure Survey (FSS) or Community statistical censuses as well as to data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). It thus constitutes a link between these sources of information. The main element for the Community Typology is the Standard Gross Margins (SGMs). The aim of the present publication is twofold; to describe the SGMs estimation process and to quote the results of the first SGMs in Cyprus. The estimation of the SGMs was done by the Agricultural Research Institute, that is responsible for the implementation of the Farm Accountancy Data Network in Cyprus.
