The indicator represents the value of agricultural production per capita in Slovenia in the period 2001–2017. Its value is mainly in the monitoring of year-on-year changes, as the amount of value of agricultural production is mainly influenced by the producer prices of agricultural products and the physical volume of production. Producer prices of agricultural products in Slovenia are formed under the strong influence of prices on the markets of neighboring countries, and the physical volume of production fluctuates due to the influence of weather conditions. A comparison with the countries of the European Union is also given, where only the comparison with countries with a similar production structure makes sense.

A similar indicator is calculated by the FAO as part of a package of food security indicators in the dimension of "stability" (per capita food production variability), except that it is calculated in other monetary units (international $).
