Agricultural output and gross value added at producer prices, EU-28, 2005–12 (2005 = 100%)

Slide Content

The slide illustrates the trend of agricultural output and gross value added at producer prices in the EU-28 from 2005 to 2013. The presentation shows that there is a steady increase in the producer price index over this timeframe, with specific indicators like crop output, animal output, and the gross value of the agricultural sector mapped on the graph. Crop output and animal output refer to the production of plant and livestock products respectively, while gross value added signifies the net output of the sector after subtracting the inputs.

Graphical Look

• Background of the slide is dark with a gradient effect, which serves as a contrast for the lighter elements.
• Two main lines on the graph: One representing crop output with green bullets and another for animal output with orange bullets, showing distinct trends.
• A filled area chart underneath the lines representing the gross value added of the agricultural sector, colored in dark blue.
• Icons placed next to labels for easy identification: a green leaf for crop output, an orange cow for animal output, and a blue tractor for gross value added.
• Horizontal axis with years from 2005 to 2013 marked, indicating the timeline for the data.
• Vertical axis labeled with percentage values from 90% to 140%, marking the relative change from the base year 2005.
• Title and subtitles are in contrasting bright colors (yellow and white) against the dark background to make them prominent.

The overall look of the slide is modern and visually engaging, with a clear distinction between different sets of data through color coding and icons. The slide effectively conveys complex information in an easy-to-digest graphical format.
