  "text": "The indicators related to actions undertaken by recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations ...... under an operational programme ... does not necessarily capture all the factors that may intervene and affect the outputs, results and impact of an operational programme ... . In this context, the information provided by the indicators should be interpreted in the light of quantitative and qualitative information relating to other key factors contributing to the success or failure of the programme's implementation.\n...\nTable 4.1.\nIndicators as regards POs and APOs\nIncluding non-productive investments linked to the achievement of commitments undertaken under the operational programme.\nRefers to a set of detailed obligations concerning the production methods (a) the respect of which is subject to independent inspection, and (b) that result in a final product the quality of which (i) goes significantly beyond the normal commercial standards as regards public health, plant health or environmental standards and (ii) responds to current and foreseeable market opportunities. It is proposed that the main types of ‘quality schemes’ cover the following: (a) certified organic production; (b) protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin, (c) certified integrated production, (d) private certified product quality schemes.\nProtected designations of origin/Protected Geographical Indications/Traditional Speciality Guaranteed\nEach day of a promotion/communication campaign counts as one action.\n‘At risk of soil erosion’ shall mean any sloping plot with an inclination higher than 10 %, whether or not anti-erosion measures (e.g. soil cover, crop rotation, etc.) have been taken. Where the relevant information is available, the appropriate authority may instead use the following definition: ‘At risk of soil erosion’ shall mean any plot with a predicted loss of soil exceeding the rate of natural soil formation, whether or not anti-erosion measures (e.g. soil cover or crop rotation) have been taken.\nActions relating to the setting up/refilling of different mutual funds count as different actions.\nMarket withdrawal of the same product in different periods of the year and market withdrawals of different products count as different actions. Each market withdrawal operation for a given product counts as one action.\nGreen-harvesting and non-harvesting of different products count as different actions. Green harvesting and non-harvesting of the same product count as one action, regardless of the number of days they take, the number of holdings participating and the number of plots or hectares concerned.\nActions/Measures Article 2(f)and (g) of Regulation (EU) 2017/891\nObjectives Articles 33(1) and (3) and 152(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013\nIndicators\nAll POs\n...\nAll APOs\n...\nInvestments\nPlanning of production\nNumber of holdings\nTotal value\nImprovement of product quality\nNumber of holdings\nTotal value\nBoosting products' commercial value\nNumber of holdings\nTotal value\nTotal value of marketed production/Total volume of marketed production (pounds sterling/kg)\nEnvironmental measures\nNumber of holdings\nTotal value\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\nResearch\nNumber of holdings\nTotal value\nResearch and experimental production\nPlanning of production\nTotal value\nNumber of holdings\nImprovement of product quality\nTotal value\nNumber of holdings\nBoosting products' commercial value\nTotal value\nNumber of holdings\nEnvironmental measures\nNumber of holdings\nTotal value\nQuality schemes ... and measures related to quality improvement\nImprovement of product quality\nArea of PDO/PGI/TSG (ha)\nNumber of holdings\nVolume (tonnes)\nPromotion and communications\nBoosting products' commercial value\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of promotion campaigns\nPromotion of the products\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of promotion campaigns\nCrisis prevention and management\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of promotion campaigns\nTraining and exchange of best practices\nPlanning of production\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nImprovement of product quality\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nBoosting products' commercial value\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nEnvironmental measures\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nCrisis prevention and management\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nAdvisory services and technical assistance\nPlanning of production\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nImprovement of product quality\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nBoosting products' commercial value\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nEnvironmental measures\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nOrganic production\nEnvironmental measures\nArea under organic production of fruit and/or vegetables (ha)\nNumber of holdings\nIntegrated production\nArea under integrated production of fruit and/or vegetables (ha)\nNumber of holdings\nImproved use or management of water, including water saving and drainage\nArea under fruit and vegetable production subject to reduction in use of water (ha)\nNumber of holdings\nDifference of volume (m 3 )\n(n – 1/n)\nActions to conserve soil\nArea under fruit and vegetable production at risk of soil erosion where anti-erosion measures are implemented (ha)\nNumber of holdings\nDifference of fertiliser use per ha (tonnes/ha)\n(n – 1/n)\nActions to create or maintain habitat favourable for biodiversity or to maintain the landscape, including the conservation of historical features\nArea concerned by actions contributing to habitat and biodiversity protection (ha)\nNumber of holdings\nActions favouring energy saving (excluding transport)\nArea under fruit and vegetable production subject to reduction in use of energy (ha)\nNumber of holdings\nDifference of energy consumption\n(n – 1/n):\nSolids\n(tonnes/volume of marketed production)\nLiquids\n(L/volume of marketed production)\nGas\n(m 3 /volume of marketed production)\nElectricity\n(kwh/volume of marketed production)\nAction related to reduction of waste production and to improve waste management\nNumber of holdings\nDifference of volume of waste (m 3 /volume of marketed production)\n(n – 1/n)\nDifference of volume of packaging (m 3 /volume of marketed production)\n(n – 1./n)\nTransport\nDifference of energy consumption\n(n – 1./n):\nLiquids\n(L/volume of marketed production)\nGas\n(m 3 /volume of marketed production)\nElectricity\n(kwh/volume of marketed production)\nMarketing\nNumber of holdings\nNumber of actions\nSetting-up mutual funds\nCrisis prevention and management\nNumber of holdings\nReplenishment of mutual funds\nNumber of holdings\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\n. . .\nHarvest insurance\nNumber of holdings\n. . .\n. . .\nOthers\nPlanning of production\nNumber of holdings\nImprovement of product quality\nNumber of holdings\nBoosting products' commercial value\nNumber of holdings\nEnvironmental measures\nNumber of holdings\nTable 4.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .",
