Accounting Development Under Organic Agriculture

Organic production refers to the rapidly growing sector of world agriculture. As the number of participants in organic agriculture increases, many questions arise related to the methodology for accounting for production processes. The article discusses the principles of accounting in agricultural enterprises that are engaged in organic production in parallel with the “traditional”. If organic farming is the only production activity, all operations are accounted for using standard accounts. For enterprises combining intensive production with organic, it is proposed to open additional sub-accounts for synthetic accounts established by the Chart of Accounts for Accounting of the Financial and Economic Activities of Organizations and Agribusiness Organizations. Additional sub-accounts are recommended to be opened on accounts of materials, finished products, animals for growing and fattening, the main herd, production costs, etc. Grouping information on the above accounts allows you to get information about: the quantity and cost of materials used for organic farming; on the quantity and value of the resulting finished organic products; about the composition and number of animals used for the production of organic products. All operations on the movement (receipt, movement, expenditure) of stocks, finished products and animals are made out by primary accounting documents. To summarize the information, internal standard reports are compiled - balance-sheet statements. The article presents schemes reflecting the procedure for generating information on organic production with the indication of subaccounts of accounting, on which information from primary documents related to operations of receipt and disposal of assets produced in an organic way is accumulated.
