Classification of the types of product in the international experience is CPA (The
Classification of Products by Activity) classification which was set by Statistical
Commission of European Economic Community and its application is obligatory for the
countries entering this community.
Classification object of CPA is product and services. It provides account of
produced and consumed productions, rendered and demanded services.
Like other classification types, CPA resembles a coded and text list set on two
main principles.
During classification of information and collecting agricultural information in
agricultural sphere the characteristics of goods' production must be taken into
consideration. As is known, production of goods has its specific features in agriculture.
Features of output production in plant-growing. Two stages of the process of
output production in farming are distinguished from one another: autumn and spring
sowings.
In farming harvest gathered from fields is distinguished according to its level of
wetness, dump and quality indicators and quantity of produced output is counted by
different parameters: amount of products is defined for quality type, in natural weight,
in counted weight.
Output production in natural weight shows the weight of harvest gathered from
fields. For instance, damp and littery wheat (barley) received from combine harvester,
soil potatoes gathered from sowing area, corn-cob maize for crop, crude sunflower, etc.
But counted weight shows the accounted quantity of product depending on
percentage of dampness and wetness quantity calculated to product in fresh weight of
natural weight.
Depending on quality indicators, calculation of output production characterizes
mellow or solid, classes they belong in grain-growing, I-IV sort of harvests in cottongrowing,
composition of appropriate productions according to sorts in tobaccocultivation,
potato culture, etc. and other ploughing spheres.
Conception of main and additional product is widely used in cropping. Main
product is the product which is used directly for the main purpose, for example wheat,
barley, corn, grain are considered main products in grain-growing, their straw, chopped
straw, chaff, stem, etc. are considered additional products.
